Gratitude

Okay, so.  Yesterday I wrote the hardest post I will (Hopefully) ever have to write.  I began it reluctantly.  I was so unsure where to begin.  I revised. I cried. I revised again.  Then when I felt like I'd written all I could, I hit the "Publish" button & put it on my Blog.  There was no taking it back.  It was out there.

I went out into the living room, plopped down next to TWH and said "I did it. I told them all about Chelsea."  He just said "Were you ready to do that??" I told him "No. But I did anyway."

I leaned into him. He rubbed my back. I began to piddle around on FB.  Then I saw them. The comments began.

I had no idea what to expect from that post. I was absolutely blown away by what I got.
Love.
Support.
Encouragement.
Understanding.

I got all this and more from you guys and I am so profoundly grateful.  Your words had me crying and laughing.  You all lifted me up in ways I never expected in a million years.

All I can say is Thank You.  Thank You so much for listening. Thank you so much to those of you who shared some of your stories with me.  Thank You for letting me know that this battle was/is never fought alone.

My Heart Sings.

My Cup Runneth Over.

My Gratitude is Boundless.

  4. It takes a courageous person to bare their story for complete strangers. I am happy to hear that you have received love and support that is much deserved. It is good to be shown that you are not alone :) Tonight was the first time I have read your blog and I came to it by referral in the comments section of another fabulous blogger's post, which led me to you story. You are an honest and caring woman and a terrific writer. I plan to keep reading.

  5. :) (I'm assuming you mean your personal fb page - since I don't think I'm following a page for your blog!)
