I’m starting to feel happy again, not just sometimes, but all the time.
Even though, I’ve had some major obstacles, throughout my life, I am very much an optimistic person with a calm and level spirt.
My internal strength makes me more of a warrior, rather than, a survivor.
And I’ve never minded doing things on my own. Being self sufficient and independent are qualities that I’ve worked hard to instill in my own daughters. And anyone who knows my children would agree, I’ve been successful.
When I was twenty, I went to the University of London, and in the summer between semesters, I traveled alone, it didn’t start out that way, but early in the trip, my travel companion, proved so unpleasant, I left her in the post office in Rosa Spain, and took the next train to Vienna, Austria, by myself.
Luckily, I wasn’t alone very long, and I went on to meet many kind, easy going, and fascinating people, who I remain friends with to this very day. Including, my friend Lisa pictured above.
As my broken heart heals, and I see my daughters thriving, I feel saddened for my husband who is missing so much.
And I am nervous and afraid, in the same way I was when I walked out of that post office in Spain, and stood on the platform waiting alone for my train.
Like then, I am alone, not knowing what the future holds. But, as the past informs the future, I know it will be good.
Love and blessings to all.
