Marriage

Is it extremely odd to have a "date" with your husband? After being seperated for several weeks, that is what I had last night.  The smell of his neck, the feel of his cheek pressed up against mine, rubbing the small of his back - things that used to be so comfortable and  familiar to me- now seemed new, as if I were with this man for the first time.  Funny how a short amount of time can take those things from your memory, and yet, in an instant, they all come back.  All it did was - give me the reassurance ......................that love doesn't just go away.......

Another Day

I am still hanging in there - thank you all so much for the uplifting comments and words of encouragement.  And thank you, TerryAnn, for sending people my way.  Life is still very rough right now, but I just keep putting one foot in front of the other and trying to keep my faith strong.  Some days it is easier than others - today is not so good, maybe tomorrow will be better.  Still trying to catch up on everyone.  I just snagged this from Lisa Jo, and it brightened my day for a split second.....

WOWSA!  Is he HOT or what??????

A Big Whine

Just wanted to stop in and let everyone know I am still around.  Although I am not posting or commenting, please know that I am still reading.  I am over 100 alerts behind, but I am trying to keep up with everyone (Nelishia, Jackie, Kimberleigh, Robin, Lisa Jo, Carlene, Hadon, Jill, Ang, Lelly Myra, Gillie, and others that I cannot think of off the top of my head right now).

To say the least, my life is in utter chaos right now.  Brent and I are (hopefully temporarily) separated right now.  He is living in our home (as his office is there), and I am staying with my mom.  My sister is about to enter a year-long drug rehabilitation center.  My family is caring for her five year old daughter.  My mother is about to get re-married.  Our family business (which I work for) is not doing well.  The holidays, which are normally my favorite time of year, are coming, and I am dreading them.  Hmmmmm, what else?  Oh, and I have lost fifteen pounds which I did not need to lose (going through a crisis will do that to ya).

I have never thought of myself as the strongest person, so I am trying hard to believe God brought all of this to me to strengthen ME as well as my faith in HIM.  Each day, I remind myself to "let go and let God" and say the serenity prayer.

Hopefully, I will be back soon with some more positive news.  Love you all!!!!
