@hopeful33250 Thanks to you and your director, Connie. At times, I'm sure you were confounded or a little perturbed, but you were persistent and never mean-spirited. Thank you for being relentless. I have been inspired and I am joyful.
Why is it that the airlines can permanently lose baggage? Yet mine keeps finding me.
My friends helped me sort out some stuff:
A friend, who is wise, yet humble, shared these strong, yet comforting words with me:
Friend 1: "You can't worry what people think ... there will ALWAYS be someone with an opinion. I think you have to be willing to accept yourself and be comfortable to know your own SELF WORTH goes a long way"
Me: We are invaluable! Now let's have a good cry...🙏🏽 ❤️
😿 "Tears are a gift of grace from God, and their fruit is always joy. Weeping arises from the heart and signifies an open and softened heart."
Friend 2 visits me regularly. She always tells me she misses me and needs to get a dose of @audriana. ✨️
We've been talking about her daughter-in-law's suicide that took place about 6 weeks ago. At the time, I had read my friend my "UNSUICIDE NOTE" hoping to reassure and comfort her.
Friend 2 asked me "why" I get a treatment [Spravato] every Friday.
She said, "I wish I could give you a pill that would cheer you up." (Right out of the Mother's play book.)
Ironically, that made me laugh!
I am grateful!
