Hi Sweetie! Just to comment back on your comment of my page. There is so much to tell and picking the right times to say them all.
I tell you thou, life is so much better than what it was 10 years ago. That was the ending of 31 years of all kinds of abuse. So I know first hand that what ever comes your way there will be a solution to it or an end to it by putting your foot down. The main thing is to take it day by day.
Believe me, whatever headache and or heartache you get from your struggles there will always be some sunshine at the end. You just have to reach it and claim it. For a long time I didn't know how to reach for what was due fully mines.
But as day by day goes, I didn't realize how much of an impact I had put on alot of people. So when the victories started coming my way, there was alot of people telling me what a strong woman I am. That's when I realized that all the little things you do will one day come together as a huge part in your life. Humblness. As you say, that's the best feeling to get when you are humbled.
After I go thru whatever I have to struggle with that day, I feel so humbled to were I want to cry. Cause I will always remember what I had to go thru to be were I as now. No more in the streets being beated, no more being hungry, no more being tortured and raped, no more being used and maniplilated, no more being verbal and physically abused, no more having drugs and alcohol around me cause I feel it disrespects my home, no more having someone cheating on me, no more having someone arguing in my house, no more pain but everyday struggling.
The struggling I go thru is way better than what it used to be. I'm a better person, a way experienced person who has scars in her life. But the scars are just reminders were I came from to get to this point. So whenever something happens, I just breathe in and breathe out the negativness.
I'm still alive after all the times I should of been dead. So the problems we face is really nothing but the size of a paperclip. Just like a paperclip, it can be bented, twisted, straighten.....it's in your hands just give it to God.
I'm grateful for friends like you, any questions about what happened to me in the past feel free to ask. What happened to me is something that can be taught to avoid. Sharing my past is something for others to learn and be cautious about.
Your doing looking and doing great, keep your chin up...there's always enough sunshine for everyone. Patti
How are you this Fine morning? Hopefully you are doing Well.
Thank you for the Wonderful compliment. I wasn't expecting that. :) You were amazingly right on, about the videos that I chose. You are obviously gifted.
That is so Nice to have Good memories involving the video,"We Are The World". A Powerful song for such an important cause but also rightly usable for other necessary causes also. Only in Gr. 5...Wow! The Good ole days. :)
I tried to put one of Shania's videos("Forever And For Always")on my page but it is protected so I wasn't allowed to. Oh well.... :)
