Amen Sister! I think you have said well how so many of us feel. I know that while my husband was dying of cancer, I would take sips of the forum, long enough to find something to cheer me. I never really posted anything during that time, I just needed the constant in my life, something cozy and familiar to help get me through another hour, another day. I like what Alee said, 'fellowship', and 'like-mindedness'. It is so true. Here our hearts are the same, even if it is across many miles.
For tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, but keep me, guide me, love me, Lord just for today.

Dawn: You are journeying through life beautifully. And you are right, we all need to share. Many of us feel the same and thank you for saying this in such a soulful way.

What a beautiful person you are, Dawn. I've been reading some other posts of yours here and there, since I found this site and your narratives are just so moving and inspiring. I'm familiar with adversity, as so many of us are, and it wasn't until I learn to let go of who I'd become, that I found out what I really wanted and who I wanted to be. It's been a long process of changing...I guess my entire life thus far. But it just keeps getting better and better.
When I found MJ's magazine, I found the website. I found a little article about Mary Jane's mother Helen, written after she passed away. I was in transition. Trying to find my way. And I remember sitting on the couch with my laptop, reading that article online as my husband was sitting next to me watching tv, and having my TRUE desire in life suddenly hit me like a ton of bricks. Mary Jane was remembering her mother...describing her sweet, thoughtful personality; her industriousness; her inborn gratitude. And I was moved to tears. I thought "I'm not like Helen at all. I'm whiny, I complain, I'm selfish, and I feel like I never have "enough". I don't want to be like that anymore. When I'm gone, I want to be remembered the way Helen is."
And like you, every day, I do something to transform myself into the woman I want to be remembered as. It might sound morbid but it's certainly not meant that way. It's just that the sharp realization and change of perspective came from that thought. And it helps me remember what's important.
You're right about this place. It's full of healing energy, for those who want it. : )

Lora, we are pretty close in proximity. I have family in Utica and Homer. Maybe we can meet up at Sips someday and get to know one another! I can't think of a better way to spend a day than with a fellow farmgirl!
