The last several months have been stressful for me and I am by no means out of the woods.
I am happy to report there is improvement in areas with Mamma B at home and recovering .
Once they discovered, the medications was creating the side effects and corrected this problem she has shown much improvement.
She can now continue on her road to recovery which we have been told from the beginning would take about a year.
Thank you for your comments, special thoughts and prayers.
So many things are going on with me right now I am not certain where to start.
It seems if it starts with M it might be a problem for me right now…..you know like Missy, Menopause, Men, Medicine, Money, Memory, Mother, Mental did I leave any other M’s out?
Oh let me not leave the Good One out…she starts with an M that could be a problem for me.
So should I throw her in for good measure?
Nah ….she is the Good One….oh no even I said it here!!!
She now has it recorded, once again. We will never hear the end of it.
Just a few thoughts I’m having during these difficult times……
Do I accept myself for everything that I am?
Do I look at myself openly and honestly and appreciate the person I call me?
There is no need for a mirror to see my reflection because my face changes;
It is what is inside my heart that tells the true story of my life.
I need to be totally truthful about who I really am.
Am I secure with myself,
or do I need someone else to make me content?
Am I someone who reaches out to give to others,
or am I looking for protection?
Am I one who smiles naturally,
or do I hide behind social politeness?
Am I one who finds fault in the world around me
or am I willing to listen to solutions?
Am I the kind of person I really want to be
or is it time to make a change?
I will share more with you when it is appropriate to do so here.
Yes I have major things going on right now and I am very thankful for each one of you that have been here for me and supported me these last few months.
Some of you reached out to me when it was least expected and for that you will never know how much it means to me.
I am slowly returning.

Thinking of you.
You just take care of you and the M’s will all work themselves out.

Is it no wonder that I once hated my name…hehehe
Glad to see a post from you and very glad to hear that you are slowly returning. Slowly is the way to do it. Let it be about you. You deserve that little bit of selfishness.
XOXO

Ah Vicky. You are who you are. You have grown and developed. I pray that you can work through whatever it is that is causing you this concern. In the end, think of your own happiness. Life is too short to always be living for other people. HUGS

Thank you for the post. We worry about you when it goes too long without hearing something. There are a whole lot of people out here who care a whole bunch about you. Me included. Keep on getting better & let us know how you are progressing & if we can help in any way.

good for you girl! Glade things are starting to look up for you (HUGS)

Take your time. Things take a while to work themselves out sometimes. We’ll be here.
I do, however, suggest moving on to a new letter. Perhaps N would work better for you than M. Or Q. How many bad things start with Q?

Hello precious one.
You take care of you.
Life has a way of making us stronger even in the midst of storms

I know many of those questions do not have simple, easy answers. I also know that you will find the answers at the right time.
I wish you well my dear and it is good to see you post again.

Again with the parallel universe again, I have been working on a poem about reflections and wondering why my reflection is different than what others see - the good and the bad. My post tomorrow will touch on reflections.
Follow your heart, don’t let what others think bother you, because I can assure you, you are beautiful inside and out.
Love you, GF, and remember I’m here for you.

Glad to hear that at least some issues are working themselves out. It sounds like this summer has really put you through the mill. I’ll continue sending good thoughts, my dear. Hopefully the issues that are left will resolve themselves soon.

I find that when we put everything and everyone ahead of ourselves, we end up feeling like a wrung out dish rag. And, while that is natural for someone like you with the big, big heart, there comes a time we do question which direction we’re headed. Be still for a moment, and listen to your inner self. I’ll do it, if you will.
Sorry I missed you last night; woke up after sleeping ALL afternoon at 12:30 this morning! ((HUGS))
August 1st, 2006 at 12:28 pm
May the love of the Lord shine forth upon you Miss Vickie.
August 1st, 2006 at 4:31 pm

on getting you to a better place in your life. You have
so many of us that care and send positive vibes to you

Hugs, Merle.

Hi Vickie, nice to hear from you again, sorry that all those M are causing you trouble, stay well friend.

You may not like this. You are about to get a little encouragement.
Stop and consider the progress you have made. Then, reexamine the troubles you face. You may find that there is good reason for optomism.
God brought you this far. Take courage. He will take you farther.
Consider this old hymn:
When upon lifes billows you are tempest tossed
When you are discouraged thinking all is lost
Count your many blessings name them one by one
And it will suprise you what the Lord has done
Real optomism is not found in saying, “It will be ok.” Real optomism is found in looking at the way God has helped you and comparing it to the trouble life throws your way.
I don’t know you but I know pain. Remember a little fella down in Texas is praying for you.
