feeling lately like i'm the worst person/mom/wife in the world for the thoughts that go through my head every day
..i called an old friend who i hadn't talked to in forever and just hearing her voice made me take a breath and relax a bit more..
...but after spilling to her, after venting, after really telling her all the terrible things that go through my head...she said the simple words that made everything better...
"it's normal" ~i feel that way too."
once i heard those words something lifted
i felt better
for that i'm grateful to her and to myself for giving my blurry ugly self a much needed break
Posted by stef at September 12, 2006 09:30 PMFor those of you that don't know me, I am Stef's cousin Kasey. Stef, I know exactly how you feel. I am going through a very difficult time in my life that not many people know about but i have to trust that things will be alright and that "this too shall pass." It helps to take one day at a time and to focus on the beautiful things in our lives rather than the terrible. Just know that the hard times only make us stronger...and saying that, I guess we must be damn strong people. You have a beautiful daughter and a wonderful husband...I admire you Stef and the things that you do...keep going and know that the hard times will pass and that what you're feeling is totally normal. Love you much, Kasey Jo.

it seems like there is something out of wack in the energy fields at the moment... people are pushing through blurry tough stuff {i've been feeling like i've blown out one of my emotional car tyres}
just wanted you to know you are heard and loved.
