photograph borrowed from Karen BowenI just read JoAnna's post saying she is finding and accecpting herself. After all the trials and heartache she has had these past few years, it seems she is settling down and discovering that it's okay to be who you are. Knowing how rough it's been for her to get to this point, and being the mother, fills me with a lot of emotion. I also thought of my dad and the look of approval he must have now. He loves us both and wants all of us to be happy.
There has been so much to worry about lately, so many seperate problems. It is often more than, I'll just say, uncomfortable. The possibilities for any or all of us really screwing up is tremendous. What I can do about most of this is so very minimal. And the bottom line is simply that I don't want to lose my children, not any of them. And each one has his own universe he lives in with all kinds of peril. I worry so much. If they will just hang on, stay together, and not forget we love each other, maybe things will be alright. Each one will have a day when he discovers that he is okay and okay is very good.

Love gets us through so much!! I love you, Rosalie! You are good by me!
Thanks, Melanie. You are wonderful, and I love you too.
What a beautiful picture to go with this- so serene. Thanks for the thoughts. I like that you included Grandpa. If we could just... inhale and relax... maybe things would all be okay.
I'm sorry you have to worry so.
You're doing great, mudderbear. You're a beautiful person and you want to fix things. Be good to yourself. Blessings, Diane
That is very sweet of you, Diane. Your website does me a lot of good everyday. Thanks for being there.
Hi Rosalie, Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you come back often. I am enjoying yours. I love your quote about being yourself... We all just need to be who we are --and quit worrying about being someone we are NOT.... We are all different, one from another, and that is what makes us unique and special....
Thanks again.
Hugs,
Betsy
