The sliding door is open. Enjoying the cool breeze and listening to the birds singing. Looking at the glorious clear blue sky and the trees. They are no longer paintings, they are real. Everything is real. The puppeteer is gone and angry. Looks like I showed him! He wanted to see me fail/fall, he thought that would happen, because he had no faith in me, did not believe I was strong enough. But I was and am strong enough. I had faith and believed in myself and was able to pull through. I also had help from my friends kind words, support, encouragement and belief. (Thank you for that!!!)
I look at my babies (dogs) and feel overwhelmed with love. Side note: Last night Sammie cuddled with me for about 1 hour. She never left my side. She has never done that before, not for that long. She’ll come by me every now and then for a little petting, but always goes on her own to the other side of the couch. She knew what she was doing, and it worked 
It is amazing what dogs realize, know and can feel.
The light is fighting its way through the darkness. Things are a little more clear. Things are slowly looking better. I am feeling slightly better, and really enjoying this right now. I don’t think I am in the total clear just yet, but that’s okay, just as long as I keep moving forward. And if I happen to fall back, that’s okay too. Because I know I will get up, dust myself off, and keep trying. I am not rushing anything. I am going with the flow, taking it slow (baby steps). Don’t want to set myself up for anything bad. No shortcuts for me. I must follow every step carefully and get there on my own terms.
Thank you for all of the love and support you show me!!! I always thought that people didn’t care. That everyone was out for themselves. I had little faith in people and their ulterior motives. I was wrong. People DO care! It’s just a matter of finding the right people And it seems I have found many, and I am in great company!
Peace, love, happiness and oodles of hugs!!!
I am so glad the light is finding it’s way back in! It is amazing how our pets can sense what we need, and will do their best to comfort us!! Much love to you… you very strong and brave woman!! xoxo
thank you Christine! XOXOXO
I’ve heard the expression “What a difference a day makes” many times. But I’ve never seen it illustrated so beautifully illustrated as I do here.
I’m so happy that the light is returning for you.
thanks Lisha!!
Dogs do realize. Even cats. Years ago (many) I had adopted a feral (former homeowners pet) cat the previous home owner had abandoned. Having a history of small bowel issues, one night I left work cause I knew they were knotted up. I laid in my bed for 9 hours, alternately sweating in agony with ten minutes relief in between. This recently introduced to the house and litter box cat NEVER LEFT MY SIDE in the bed. When I would hit the writhing in agony parts, she would lift her head up but not move. I still remember her silhouette as I lay there wishing I was dead. She rode it out with me. Her silhouette looked like the Spinx, I remember that.
I still have no faith in people, and their ulterior motives. So happy you are learning to trust, and have gotten past the people issues. I don’t think I ever will.
Keep fighting the good fight.
That is amazing!
I am a pretty good judge of character, so I usually know right away who I can or should not trust. I don’t always put myself out there. I have gotten burned real badly a few times. Not going to set myself up for that again. This time I know better and to always trust my own instincts.
I am so happy the darkness broke. The best any of us can do is take life one day at a time, and when even that seems too much, we take it minute by minute.
Stay strong and know you are supported every step of the way!
Thank you!
