Life Is Hard
That being said, I am off to check on all of you. When I am feeling down and out, I can always look to my writer friends to pick me up. I appreciate you all for that.

Here is a quote from Maya Angelou, one of my favorite writers. I hope it finds you in a good place:
ReplyDelete“I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Very nice Michael.... Lovely, honest, and true sentiment.
DeleteOh life can be hard, can't it? says one Susan to another. I sympathize with you totally. I've discovered that once it's well and truly roughed you up, it'll set you back on your feet again. Hope it's planning to do that pretty soon. And don't give up writing - you're a talented writer.
ReplyDelete*hugs you* Sucks to hear life has been a struggle. Hope things improve soon!
ReplyDeleteoh it is no wonder you are tapped out after a hospital stay--they always did it to me---just take it easy and only do what you want to or simply have to----you will get your energy back before you know it! i feel the same way about you and some other bloggers, you guys keep me going sometimes---<3
ReplyDeleteSusan, I wish with all my being I could take away all the pain and strife in your life right now but I cannot. What I can do is send you love, peace, strength and patience along with lots of Reiki. Please know that you, Zane and your family are in my heart, thoughts and prayers . . . and not just when interacting with you online. Life is often difficult, but please hang on to the belief that there are brighter days ahead. Gentle hugs and love . . . xxxx
ReplyDelete*hugs <3 <3 You are amazing,talented, and an inspiration. Never forget that. Always thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you, Susan. Hang in there, girl.
ReplyDeleteAs everyone else has said, hang in there, Susan. Be strong. And a piece from one of my favorite songs: "This too shall pass."
ReplyDeleteTake a rest and I hope things work out for you:)
ReplyDeleteHUGS, HUGS, HUGS, AND MORE BEAR HUGS from your pal....
ReplyDeleteSO sorry to hear you are blue, Susan. Of all the people I know in our wide blogosfamily, I always smile and fell fantabulous when you visit my blog and lease such treasured and kind comments from you.
I have many days like yours, but then I think back at how bad (health wise) I was at a sad time in my life when I couldn't walk for years.
I see homeless people shiver in the cold on the streets of Chicago during the most horrific icy wind conditions and I thank God I have a warm place to go home to ....
Life does hand us many, many hard challenges, but it does make us stronger and appreciate the wonderful aspects of life. A child's laugh, a puppy wagging his tale, the beautiful first flowers of spring, magnificent sunrises and sunsets, and family and close friends. These are a fraction of life's wonders.
I we could focus on just one positive or happy aspect, it will erase part of the sadness.
I know caring for a loved one, especially a child is very exhausting, but God knows your love and determination is far stronger than the challenge. I was once told that God gives us our crosses to bear and he doesn't give us anything he knows we can't handle no matter how frustrated and angry we get.
Take a deep breath Sweets and know you can draw positive energy from all of your extended family....
One last big hug before bedtime. Take a deep long breath and let all the tension and anxiety leave your body.

ReplyDeleteSorry for all the typos...
ReplyDeleteTake care, and take some time out for yourself.
ReplyDeleteWhen you find yourself feeling "why bother" about your writing, it's time to take a break, read some books, watch some TV, maybe paint a room in the house. Enthusiasm and inspiration will return in due course.
ReplyDeleteYour commenters are wise people and I send similar wishes of my own to you. Life just sucks sometimes, plain and simple. No sense sugar-coating it. But everything has a season and soon your spring will come.
ReplyDeleteHope you're okay, Susan, and that you have a relaxing weekend. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog last night - get some sleep! Sending cyber-hugs your way!
ReplyDeleteSusan, please know that God loves you. Try to think of good things, get physical rest (no mountain climbing right now please) and mental rest too. Beautiful music may help you cool down.
ReplyDeleteMy best to you and Zane.
If you want to just scream at someone, I'm just a phone call away:)
ReplyDeleteHang in there and I hope this tough time passes. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteYou know, there are times when I ask myself why bother too. However, know that when you write a good people, your readers can't help but looking to see what else you've written and it takes time to build momentum. Keep writing. It's what you love, so stick with it.
ReplyDeleteI hope that things have turned around even a little bit and that if they haven't that you're feeling better. I've found that in my life when things go wrong, there's always a pile up of things that go wrong at the same time. Most times, things have a way of working themselves out as the days go by.
I'll keep you in my prayers. Sending plenty, plenty hugs and good vibes your way.
