I thought it fit well...
“I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself.”
Walter Anderson
but it will still hurt...
"My heart, I gave to you,
wrapped in the colors of vulnerability,
ribbons of sacredness,
you opened,
and tossed aside."
I wrote this after my blog. I thought it was beautiful...there is beauty in sadness..when I realize the colors of my vunerability..and the sacredness of my heart.... and then it seeps in....
I refuse to let this break me...but I find myself with the bricks that were thrown..making a wall.

and in time it will hurt less and less.
It's all about your atittude towards life isn't? IF you look at life differently, you might see a rainbow or a rainy day. :)

Cat...Thanks you are always so wonderful.
Heidi,
This is the first chance I've had to catch up with you. I'm SO sorry for all that you are struggling with. I had a few days last week where I ran out of meds and just fell into a black hole; eventually, I tried to pick a fight with God. (didn't work out so good)
Yes, it is about attitude and choices. From what I have read, you are an unbelievably strong and smart woman. Keep rising.
((hugs))
I have never seen that quote by Walter Anderson before but it has been just that way for me my entire life.
a hauntingly beautiful poem!
and yes, it is ultimately how we choose to react to what we have. and it's not easy sometimes. *hugs*
I do like this, can relate to it very well.
Rise
I read rise
;)
I find myself with the bricks that were thrown..making a wall. Now that is beautifully said!
Good quote and yes attitude does make a huge difference.
((((safe hugs))))
I am learning also it takes time to heal. Don't like it, but have no choice!
one brick at a time and it will get built ..
XOXO
