I sincerely hope you are on the upswing. There has been an extended "down time" for me, too, due to events out of my control. I function day to day. There is a big void where the joy was. I keep thinking about the time lost and wonder how much more will be....

The good thing is that we've been through this and know we will again feel joy, will again feel " the long, sweet savoring" of our own lives.

I am trying at the moment to sequence all the words and string it together logically, as it so defies my own logic. I am hoping a poem I wrote about it more succinctly will be published soon.<br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-40242234568065172712015-04-02T09:52:25.662-02:302015-04-02T09:52:25.662-02:30Dear WWW, I don't wish to put a downer on eith...Dear WWW, I don't wish to put a downer on either your or my own tears.<br /><br /> "... it [heart] break open and never close to the rest of the world." That pretty much sums up how I have stumbled through the world from day one. Lucky disposition. Which is why I am always amazed, fazed when doors (oh so very unforgiving doors) close on me. Happens. To my dismay. There is nothing nothing nothing in this world that can't be mended. If only those who have the power to mend had the will to do so.<br /><br />Hug,<br />UUrsulahttp://bitchontheblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-85630864101178238862015-04-02T09:16:16.764-02:302015-04-02T09:16:16.764-02:30Please take care
