Protection

Protection 

It's not a desire, 

It's a need.

You may only be my friend 

Yet within you I feel protected.

#realitysview 

Feel you.

Nothing feels better than to feel you...

You may have left this world but you never left my soul!
...
Thank you,  nothing feels better...than feeling you on the only place you knew to find me;

Nothing feels better than to feel you...

"Dear God. Please intervene and help end this divorce. My husband and I have failed at our marriage and now we are failing at our divorce. This poisonous process is bringing suffering to us and to everyone who cares about us. I recognize that you are busy with wars and tragedies and much larger conflicts than the ongoing dispute of one dysfunctional couple. .

But it is my understanding that the health of the planet is affected by the health of every individual on it. As long as even two souls are locked in conflict, the whole of the world is contaminated by it. Similarly, if even one or two souls can be free from discord, this will increase the general health of the whole world, the way a few healthy cells in a body can increase the general health of that body. It is my most humble request, then, that you help us end this conflict, so that two more people can have the chance to become free and healthy, and so there will be just a little bit less animosity and bitterness in a world that is already far too troubled by suffering.

I thank you for your kind attention.

Respectfully, Elizabeth M. Gilbert"

Amen

It's Magic

'Acceptance is the magic that makes our current circumstances good.'

One day

One day I won't regret everything I gave up for ultimate failure. 
One day I won't regret the years spent trying to create the life I wanted.
One day I won't regret the time lost on  relationships of failure.
One day I won't regret it all.

Slow and Steady

"If I have harmed anyone in any way either knowingly or unknowingly through my own confusions, I ask their forgiveness. If anyone has harmed me in any way either knowingly or unknowingly through their own confusions, I forgive them. And if there is a situation I am not yet ready to forgive, I forgive myself for that. For all the ways that I harm myself, negate, doubt, belittle myself, judge or be unkind to myself through my own confusions, I forgive myself."

Breathe In Breathe Out

I Wish You Well.

I Give Up

I want to be happy.

It Hurts To know

Where I stand.
Exactly where I always feared I stood.

Not good enough and easily replaced.

Simple

All I ever wanted in life was to be...

... loved...
... respected...
... and protected.

It was a simple want.

I failed.

Never Again

Never again shall I allow someone to destroy my spirit. Never again.

My Girl

There is but one purpose for living.
She is my all.

These Words Seem Fitting

"My Wish"

I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow
And each road leads you where you want to go
And if you’re faced with the choice and you have to choose
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you
And if one door opens to another door closed
I hope you keep on walkin’ ‘til you find the window
If it’s cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
But more than anything, more than anything

My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you’re out there gettin’ where you’re gettin’ to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish

I hope you never look back but you never forget
All the ones who love you
And the place you left
I hope you always forgive and you never regret
And you help somebody every chance you get
Oh, you find God’s grace in every mistake

And always give more than you take
But more than anything, yeah more than anything

This is my wish
I hope you know somebody loves you
May all your dreams stay big

Power of Good Bye

Nothing

Sometimes I feel nothing.

Blue

Every night I pray for you. 
I pray for happiness.
I pray for release.
I pray for forgiveness.
Every night I pray for you.

Thought for the Day

DEC 5

From the book: The Language of Letting Go

Difficult People

Few things can make us feel crazier than expecting something from someone who has nothing to give. Few things can frustrate us more than trying to make a person someone he or she isn't; we feel crazy when we try to pretend that person is someone he or she is not. We may have spent years negotiating with reality concerning particular people from our past and our present. We may have spent years trying to get someone to love us in a certain way, when that person cannot or will not.

It is time to let it go. It is time to let him or her go. That doesn't mean we can't love that person anymore. It means that we will feel the immense relief that comes when we stop denying reality and begin accepting. We release that person to be who he or she actually is. We stop trying to make that person be someone he or she is not. We deal with our feelings and walk away from the destructive system.

We learn to love and care differently in a way that takes reality into account.

We enter into a relationship with that person on new terms - taking our needs and ourselves into account. If a person is addicted to alcohol, other drugs, misery, or other people, we let go of his or her addiction; we take our hands off it. We give his or her life back. And we, in the process, are given our life and freedom in return.

We stop letting what we are not getting from that person control us. We take responsibility for our life. We go ahead with the process of loving and taking care of ourselves.

We decide how we want to interact with that person, taking reality and our own best interests into account. We get angry, we feel hurt, but we land in a place of forgiveness. We set him or her free, and we become set free from bondage.

This is the heart of detaching in love.

Today, I will work at detaching in love from troublesome people in my life. I will strive to accept reality in my relationships. I will give myself permission to take care of myself in my relationships, with emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual freedom for both people as my goal.

My Reality Sucks.

But there is one silver lining...

...one day I will die and it won't hurt.

Things that make ya go, "Huh?!?!"

"Well, we weren't the cutesy kind of couple.  We were more like two squirrels barking at a cat.  Hey, at least we're on the same page."
