Mountains

I have been, as my friend Kristin says "falling down a well of self pity" But no more. I am gonna fight this  make more of my life. So what that I have lost my hearing. Our two oldest dogs are deaf too & it doesn't slow them down much. I'm gonna learn from them. No more being "numb" & having self despair. I am truly sorry to those of you that I have complained to. No, life isn't perfect for anybody & we all must climb our own mountains. What's your mountain to climb? I'll climb it with you.

  1. I adore you, you know.

    My mountain? I miss my kiddos. There are two big holes in my heart where they are supposed to be... probably driving me crazy!

    I am so glad you posted today. I <3 you.

  2. Your post today reminds me of a story my dad always used to tell me when I was struggling with my own bouts of feeling sorry for myself. One day while he was driving, he saw a dog get hit by a car. It broke one of his legs. The dog paused for a moment, but then he got up and took off again. He didn't dwell. He just accepted that now he was a three-legged dog. I'm not sure if Dad was just illustrating a point or if that dog actually existed, but he has always been one my heroes. When things get rough, I think to myself, "Well, I guess now I'm a three-legged dog...."

  6. Rusty, You're working hard to be tough for yourself, and letting others in on your trials, you are being tough for others. You are finding a way to give. I wonder how many could walk a mile in your boots and finish the walk... Not many. Hang in there and keep your head up. God bless...
