I am so grateful for the great things in my life. I am so grateful for so many amazing experiences for a childhood that is really so amazing and laid a foundation stronger than I ever noticed as I grew but in times of stress it has helped me remember so many things that I love so much. There has been a lot of pain too and it was really hard for me to appreciate the side of pain for a really very long time. But it seems there is purpose for the pain even if it is only to see how the people I love were hurting and how important it is that I love them and show them compassion now. I gave up my passion for life to take care of my children and they needed to see that passion for life as their example of what to hold on to and not as something to gave away. I still seek the passion and love for the good life that I have always loved and just need the faith again of clarity that we are all wanting and expecting the best from each other and we are all willing to forgive when each other makes a mistake and we can always be kind about mistakes. And find relief in God protecting people and no one else can take things away from others.
