Expressing my feelings about death, the death of family members and friends, life and life's impacts. I hope to write poems about coping with death, life, family and friends, and getting the best out of life. Every emotion and every thought comes from living. I hope to live through my writings.
Hoping to reach out and meet others where they are in hopes that any one of the poems will bring solace on some level.
I have been participating in an activity this month that has me making public comments on people's blogs.
I don't usually post public comments--most of the time any comments I post are private.
As I was scrolling through the list of bloggers this morning, I saw your blog. I decided to look for an entry to comment on—and I chose this one.
Imagine my surprise when I then discovered I had posted a comment on this entry last May!
Malinda, Today, I know you better than I did last May. I can easily hear your voice in this old blog entry. I also know AMD has progressed now to the point where you can no longer drive.
When first hit with that news, I witnessed you staggered a bit but then I had the privilege of witnessing you rise above your hardship and once again see the glass half-full.
Your encouraging text messages remind me to do the same. Thank you, Malinda, for both your words and your example.I am glad you are in my life. I am glad to have been able to get to know the strong and amazing woman behind G. B. Williams!
So sorry for your loss! To lose someone dear to us...nothing can be said that helps. We can only keep our faith that we will se them when He comes for us. What is such a blessing that the Lord gives us is our ability to be quiet for a moment and remember the greatness we had with our loved ones.
Amen. Thank you for sharing and for reaching out. I am sure that life will continue, and Buddy will no longer be in pain or distress over his failing health.
THANK YOU! Right now, I need all of the hugs I can get. Buddy has suffered for years, but he was a fighter and kept holding on after a number of heart attacks, kidney failure, diabetes, and high blood pressure.
He at least lived to see his children as adults, and some of his grandchildren. For that, I am thankful.
Much love to you Mailman_Mikey and Enga for your thoughtfulness!
I lack discipline and, therefore, was attracted by the title of this entry.
After reading it, I am impressed with the woman I met through these words.
I plan to visit your blog and your port again!
The first few lines of this entry describe me. After all that I read here, I find it hard to believe they describe YOU. You sound like a pretty disciplined person to me.
Disciplining ourselves and disciplining a child are two somewhat separate subjects but I do agree, discipline is not a dirty word.
It looks like we both are up writing at the same time this morning . I feel your pain. My Jim will be gone two years on July 19th. Sometimes it feels like yesterday and other times it feels like a hundred years ago. Almost immediately after Jim passed I quit eating meat...don't ask me why, I don't know. The human brain is so complicated. I think maybe it was something else for me to focus on, new recipes, new ways to get protein, something I thought I was doing that was good for me. I continue to be vegetarian and somehow it has helped sustain me. God bless...
