I usually find out that someone is going though a lot harder time that I was and really, really needed a smile. To take your first steps out in the open, just put on a smile. It is magic. Please also know that you daily give all of us who read you a smile. What a gift you have. You are very special. Embrace the special you and have some fun with a smile.Barbara Bradhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08033314748951896309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-48490286064595623492016-05-20T11:59:16.614-07:002016-05-20T11:59:16.614-07:00Susan, experiencing hurt and pain is most difficul...Susan, experiencing hurt and pain is most difficult to work through.

Besides my own problems, my family and friends behaved so badly. I was lied about (which they finally admitted to) and betrayed by my best friend. No matter what happens in the future I don't think I will ever fully trust those involved again. I had to do a lot of soul searching and realized that it's just me and my Lord at the end of the day. People can be so very cruel and especially when you need them in your corner. I am recovering from the event but not without set backs once in a while. I too want to cover my head until it all passes but that doesn't get me anywhere. My experience was very eye opening. At 66 years old, I guess you're never too old to still learn about people and how very hurtful they can be when you need their support the most. Susan, I understand what life can throw you. Catch the good and let the bad pass on by. I wish you well with your recovery, it does get better but for me, my experience changed who I am.

I don't know how any body could ever possible hurt you intentionally or even unintionally. Sorry to say, most of these hurtful people know what they are doing when they do it. Keep your chin held high and conquer the world. I know you can!<br /><br />Love ya,<br />Judy20 North Orahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09215328045988219360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-70103825040029924572016-05-19T14:46:00.749-07:002016-05-19T14:46:00.749-07:00Susan I am sorry you even had to be in that place....Susan I am sorry you even had to be in that place. Three weeks ago today my husband had a 10 hour surgery. We were very, very, very lucky and the prognosis is very good. What hurts is I have ALWAYS helped other people - presents - cards - meals etc. etc. etc. What gets me so upset is nothing was done for him. Family in another State couldn't even send a card. Susan I am in that place now and I also want to pull the covers over my head but I can't because he still needs help. I have learned a very hard lesson and it will be a cold day in hell that I help any of these people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-30281029934639798312016-05-19T14:12:45.068-07:002016-05-19T14:12:45.068-07:00You have a delightful collection of hearts and of ...You have a delightful collection of hearts and of roses.
