Metamorphosis

[Lorna]

Hi Elizabeth,

As long as I have seen and observed you on this forum I have seen a very strong and beautiful lady for whom I have the utmost respect and admiration. Both you and I have had more than our share of hurdles this year and we have somehow managed to bounce back.

Although change is an inevitable constant in life, it can still quite often be a very frightening thing to face, especially when followed by feelings of uncertainty. It’s tough not knowing what lies around the corner.

I like what CJ said as far as taking time to appreciate the moment, which can be very helpful in not worrying as much about tomorrow. But I do have to say that given the dark days that you’ve already endured, as well as the negative forces that you have eliminated from your life, I sense good things to come for you.

Love,

Lorna

Hi girls,

Donna,

I took no offense, I was glad to see just how sharp your awareness is. Thanks for you concern, but I promise should I get into that kind of depression, I will call for help.

Lorna,

I don't feel like life has dealt me a hand any worse than anyone else. It is more what you said about change being frightening. Before when I changed direction in my life, I had a pretty good idea where I was going, it was all scripted, so I could feel safe. I now feel like there is some serious merit to not knowing what is going to happen. I have watched your actions and your life has been anything but certain, and you handled it so well. Even though you did not know where your life was going, or what was going to happen, you didn't let that deter you from being you, and still enjoying your life. I admire that, and I want to get to that point. As you can see, I have a ways to go. But I do want to give up all my security blankets, and start living like me. I love you and thanks for you concern.

Love always,
Elizabeth

Liz:

I can't relate to the divorce part but I can relate to having to live apart way apart as in 1150 miles.

Liz in the past you and I have talked and I get the sense that you are strong person just confused with life as I am right now. I know nothing of personality types, I know you are strong in your own mind and will get thru it. Me I would either be dead or a drunk as in May of 05 I will be married 25 years.

I have you in my thoughts a lot even thou I have been fighting the CD side of me again for many reasons mainly money. Plus as of today I have not been home in 7 weeks an it will be another 3 weeks before I go home for a week.

In a lot of ways, I wish we were not so far apart. I would love to meet you in person.

Gelinda.
