tough times

Posted on April 7th, 2005 rmdenby 4 comments

I posted something last week that was just too painful for me to leave public so I hid it. It is still on the blog so I read it everytime I am masquerading as blog admin. But I just cannot allow it to be public yet. The few people I have been able to share this with have been so supportive. I am beginning to believe that tough times help you to discover who your real (soul mate types) friends are.

It is funny how life seems to roll along and then things take a turn that leads you to a place you didn’t want to go. Even though you may know deep down what is coming you hope, sometimes blindly, that the road will straighten out (construction ahead!) or that the turn it takes doesn’t go where you think (know) it does. But reality is a bitch sometimes.

  I agree with you, and I am sorry you had a painful time.
  
  Sometimes, when the pain starts, it is my signal that the healing can start.
  
  I agree @ that friend thing… I find that some of my more shallow ones say things like “Let it Go” or “Get Over It”. Those are the ones I want to hurt.

  Rori: Thanks for your kindness. Healing will come eventually. I’m just having a difficult time with this and it is hard for me to think this out clearly at this point.
  
  And… I have puposely kept away from the shallow friends for that very reason. Sincerity is easy to receive, shallowness is easy to detect.

  I have learned from personal experience that everything happens for a reason and it is most definitely through adversity that you learn whom you can count on in life.
  
  Whatever is weighing on you, lean on those you trust and feel safest with and draw strength and support from them.

  Barb: I’m certain there are reasons for everything. The fact that I cannot figure out the reason is what drives me crazy sometimes. But I must be patient. It is good to be surrounded by friends.
