Someone to watch over me...

...our greatest glory is not in failing...

rather rising each 

time we 

fall....

So we have grown through some character

building this week.

I say WE, because even though

the situation was focused

more directly on one of our children...we all

shared her suffering, outrage, heartache...

And

We all became more resolute in helping her

go forward, regroup...begin again.

Life is so tenuous, precious, ever changing...fluid.

We gurgle along as a brook over boulders, 
gathering in strength, 
in our momentum flowing along

creating a force which eventually grows into a mighty river

and
 at some point making our way... adding to the seas of the

earth.

I am just a Mom...a Wife, a Nana.

At times I feel like, a tired old woman who's greatest joy would

be to just sit in a chair, on the porch, in the sun...

Then something happens to a loved one

and I become a 

WARRIOR!

I pick up the torch of RIGHT...of compassion, and tenderness, of

decency, and flaming love.

The culprit of deceit 

and horrible hurt, did find it's way to our door. 

If he physically showed his face

it would be the last thing he

did in this earthly state. 

 I'm sure I would be standing in line

to hog tie him to a tree, paint him with honey, and pray for an

early spring bringing out our great bears of the wild.

There, now I've got that off my chest.

I heard just yesterday, that FB...the internet and such

is becoming a dangerous place for some to come visit because

people are becoming to depressed in comparing themselves

to everyone else out "there"...HUH?

You get what you look for.

I have found a place of refuge...a place of rebirth...a place of

laughter, and light.  Yes, admittedly there are gross and

very disturbing things as well,
  it's what you seek and focus on...these will be the things that fill your heart.

My promise to you is TRUTH, and resolve.

Honesty is a weighty proposition, but in the end pays great dividends.  I have learned this the hard way, for I am

 a mere mortal, who is fighting to find her

way as well...but what I have found

is worth the sharing...if it only helps,
 ONE in the doing.

*****

Every morning you are given (24) hours.  

They are one of the 

few things in this world you get

FREE of CHARGE.

If you had all the money in the world,

you could not buy an extra hour.

What will you do with this priceless treasure? 

So, so grateful for the knowledge

I have, that there are indeed warriors in goodness and light

who are watching over me and my family.

No matter what comes our way...we will get through it.

Together we win

Divided we fall

We win together...

or it's

No win at all!
