It was a joyful thing to read the wisdom that Janna has given you. A person who passes through fire, forest, or dark valley does not come out of it unchanged, or even unscathed. In my experience–upon reflection–there are usually benefits to whatever occurred, and you don’t necessarily have to like them. Sometimes you do like them. Other times you find you can bear them, and now and then it causes a person to make room in their life for something new and unaccustomed whose usefulness has yet to be determined.

I have a friend who quotes an old, white, Greek, dead, male philosopher–“I grow old, learning many new things.” This is not to suggest that you are growing old, (even though, blessedly, you are!)but that you are learning many new things. I believe that is one of the things you do quite well, so, carry on!

These days, I find myself taking time to sing to God in thanks on your behalf and to ask for help with whatever it is you need at that particular moment. I suppose now I will have to ask that you have a hot dog in your pocket whenever you (and Alphie) need one. :-)

Cheers and hugs,
Carolyn

I am so delighted that you are receiving the support, prayers, and encouragement that continues to bouy your spirits. How wonderful that you will be able to travel with Charles. Granted, Milwaukee isn’t Russia, but I pray that you have a wonderful trip!

I’m packing today for school…I’m guessing that much practicing will be the order of the day for the next few weeks! I’m looking forward to it very much.

God’s love, peace, and JOY to you,

Irene
