Accidents and New Beginnings

Blessings dear friends. I've been away for some time, as things became so very hectic. My son had an accident at the end of last year at a local business that gave us both grey hairs. Then my beloved husband was in an awful car accident at the start of this year that left us devestated. And then there was my own hospitalization last summer before the other two life journies.
In all, we have actually become renewed. Renewed in the fact that life is a journey and we cannot control where the waters of this life will take us. My own focus shifted in all of this on that I was able to see clearly that the path I was following, have been following, was indeed the correct path for me. I realized just how loved I am, and how deeply I love all people. I think that is one of the most important life insights that comes when one has a change such as this in their life.
So, what have your life chanages been over the last months? What have they taught you? Have they changed you, your insight, or your outlook?

Well, it sounds like you have been a busy woman. I am relieved to hear all is okay.-? I take it all are that is. I have had some devestating stuff come down on me as well. Long story. I learned that my daughter is not who I thought she was. I learned that I need to be stronger and set up some strict boundaries for myself. So glad to hear you are still trudging around on the grand earth of ours.

I don't know what you mean by 'the gist of it on Facebook'. I know only what you have told me. I guess I have been living in my own little world. Poor little me and wha wha stages. That sort of thing. Just came out of a Hollocost of a SAD depression and am climbing my way back out. Ya, my daughter played a number on me that hurt me to the core. I have no friends. None in life's corridor anyway. Several online but none I can call and cry to. Just me and the tv and computer. What a life! Even fell for a guy online and screwed that up as royally as a dip like me could possibly do it. Now I grovel and feel sorry for myself and wish there was some way I could rectify things. But, in the long run I have to think of him and just move on. I guess. Or drive us both crazy. Glad to have you back. Thanks for the kind words.

I meant since you added me on FB you probably saw my notes about the situations lol. SAD is definately something else. I don't think any two people are treated the same for it, and I wish you the very best of positive energies! I'm sure you have a great deal of friends who care, and are wanting to be there for you. Hang on tight, because the sun is out, and things will get brighter.

It has definately been a whirlwind round here, but I'm sure you've caught the gist of it on Facebook. I had no idea your daughter was going through some issues. I know I have not been very good about keeping up with you, but I shall try to rectify that. I wish you nothing by the best and yes, I'm very glad to keep going on in this journey.

Scarlet-
It seems like forever since we got the chance to chat!
Wow, three more? I can barely hand the one we have! I could not imagine having that many tumbles of fluff to watch out for, and keep off the altar! 
But what a joy they must bring!
It's amazing how much we humans learn about unconditional love from our pets! Mine has taught me quite a bit, and she's taught me how to laugh. I think she's taught me a lot about mothering, though she's not a mother per se. She mothers the kids, but in not so smothering way.
Always lovely to see you! Namaste-Anora

Hi Anora, How good to hear from you again my friend! Sorry about all the sickness in your family but it's good to know that you have been renewed through it all. My own view is that there are no accidents in life, just opportunity presented in different ways. I am looking after my 84 year old brother for about forty hours every week while his daughter and son in law are working. My brother has Alzheimer's disease and I'm not sure how much longer they will be able to keep him at home. A good friend of mine that I'm known all my life and is a few months younger than me, has cancer and is is not expected to live more than a month. All of these things affect our thinking one way or another but like you I feel that I've been given new strength. Blessings.

I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. I hope your friend finds peace. It is true that these events give us renewed strength, and almost a feeling of glee in our own lives. I've found that since all of our events I feel younger, look younger, and though I still have day to day events I deal with I am not effected as greatly as I was years ago by such things.
Blessings, Anora

You are right, these things change us and if we are smart enough we turn that knowledge to our advantage. We can resent the changes or we can learn from them and grow. I hope your family is alright.

I agree, turning these life events into advantage has a way of paying off in the end. Thank you for taking a moment to respond.

Welcome back.
I hope that your son and husband are recovered. That must have been really frightening...
As for me, well I filed for divorce in May, so I am right in the middle of things, trying to sort things out and stay positive and see what comes up.
Take care....

I recall your many discussions before on the subject. I wish you hope and strength on your own journey. My own son and husband are recovered, but the emotional scars are always with one with such an event. Those will simply be what they are, a part of their character. I wish you all the best.
Namaste-Anora
