A Life Lesson

Life is hard and yet it still keeps going.

I really thought that getting out of my marriage (ended in 1998 finally got out of in 2004) would be the worst obstacle I had to overcome. Wrong! 2007 to the present has been just as difficult and it is really hard to keep that positive attitude in place or even the just "fake it till you feel it" going. I am no where near the place I thought I would be in life today. I have made some choices and dealt some situations that I would not have normally desired, yet here I sit living with and making the best of those life curve balls.

The other week I received a package that gave me a lot of food for thought.

There were two rosary's, one for my father and one for me. The rosary's are handmade by a beautiful woman that lives in Louisiana. Our paths crossed back in 07 through blogging, we had a shared experience the loss of our mothers. "T" gave me so much comfort probably more than she will ever know. To have someone that was feeling and dealing with the same pain as I was a true gift. I think we both always knew that the other was putting that fake front on when the blogging was lite and of no depth. "T" and I have a lot in common and yet so much is different. She is one of the strongest women I know and has been through more than anyone I know yet she still radiates kindness, love and joy.

Thank you "T" once more you have given me a true gift...the daily reminder as I look at the rosary...that there are caring and loving human beings out in this big world that have a focus on others and not themselves.

Love Ya Lady T
