It's our hearts that go out to you when you feel alone and displaced.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing with us we are here for you because this is life, so different from anything before us. People are the greatest assets in life because we have the capacity to Love another, over, and over, and over again. <br /><br />We don't know what 2010 holds and who cares! All we need to focus on is today...right here...right now the rest will come whether we are hopeful or not. Release yourself and be who you are. Unique, creative, talented, and a brave heart. Bravo for YOU...now that's worth blogging about.<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />BetteAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115674582600945465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-51808603803411790352009-12-26T20:58:15.450-05:002009-12-26T20:58:15.450-05:00oh millie,

Hard to let go of his long-term previous who was loved by us all. This new one is verrrry different. So I had to retreat to the bathroom a few times, take some deep breaths & give myself some strong self-talk. After all, my love for him hasn't changed, so I just need to work through all this other stuff. May 2010 be your best yet oh gorgeous one & don't let anyone tell you otherwise.<br />Millie ^_^Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408461724832141163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-46932702237571358932009-12-26T19:05:50.162-05:002009-12-26T19:05:50.162-05:00Renee, sometimes its not fun being an adult woman....Renee, sometimes its not fun being an adult woman. Losing some things and people that were/are precious to us. Will we ever get them back? Probably not, but maybe, just maybe what we will get is something better. I too, have lost a lot, however being the eternal optimist, I am sure when waking up the next morning I have a chance to regain or find new, new whatever it is I want. I suppose that is why I always love the new year, a new beginning. Hang in there girl, you can do it, and you will do it. If your daughter comes back in the way she wants it might just be a more honest relationship. I hope so.<br /><br />Carol<br /><br />http://wwwbeenblogged.blogspot.com/C.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12004153268370337727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-48622236524606300812009-12-26T19:05:31.160-05:002009-12-26T19:05:31.160-05:00wish i had read this yesterday! was having a hard ...wish i had read this yesterday! was having a hard time feeling grateful, i was too tired and too hungry and occasionally too angry to be right with myself. but today is another day,and my house is clean, leftovers will be delicious and i have no problems. thanks for the reminder.flwrjanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14905305551745652868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-74726875522636379372009-12-26T18:18:40.243-05:002009-12-26T18:18:40.243-05:00Christmas is always so bittersweet...I think we al...Christmas is always so bittersweet...I think we all taste the good and the bad over the holidays.

It has been the slap in the face I have needed several times. This last year has been a rough one. My husband was laid off from a job that he had for 15 years that provided a very nice life for us. We have had to adjust and go without A LOT! We came very close to losing our home. It wasn't easy and I have those moments when I start to dwell on how much things have changed for us. Then just when I need to see it most- someone thankfully shows how bad it really could be and that I am still one of the lucky ones.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15822191038497825833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043721957359281413.post-25190485130474361542009-12-26T12:21:07.679-05:002009-12-26T12:21:07.679-05:00Happy Christmas Renee;
