what do I know

[aetheldaeg]

I take it back. The tears keep coming. I felt a bit better after talking with the surgeon on Friday but it seems that calm was short lived. I feel so sad. All my dreams and plans are on hold and I wonder if I will ever see them come to fruition. This time of year is tough enough. I mourn the loss of the men and women who died in the two world wars

I have fond memories of you sittign curl up in the chair in the living room.. with your legs up beside you even thoughDad always said it was bad for your knees.. you would have your bible in your lap and you would just sit quietly..

You may not be able to "PRAY" specifically but waht about thinking.. read through some of your favorite passages and find assurance in what you believe.

Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me."

I agree. It's been a long time since I had a crisis, but wht I did to get thru it was read. Granted I am not all that religious; so praying even then wasn't the first option. I just read passages from the Hagakure. The reaffirmation of bushi-do for me always puts my mind at rest.

Beliefs and ideals that we base our lives on are our foundations. And returneing to foundations, in my experiences, are always a good way to ground yourself. Find assurance and measures of tranquility.

I will try. Right now I want to "do" something. Perhaps the biggest lesson I can relearn to just "be". To sit quiet and let the peace find me. You are a wonderful daughter. I love you lots.
