this, too, will pass

wings of wisdom

fire, ready, aim...

aagh...the frustration of picking up the pieces from my impulsive 
actions has worn me to the core.

i have since learned that nothing needs to be decided upon RIGHT NOW.

there is nothing wrong with hesitation.
pain seemed to torment me daily and i used to hatch daily escape plans...admittedly it would be in the drink of some sort or another.

now, i sit, as uncomfortable as that may be at times
and wait
and wait
and pray
and possibly pray some more
one day at a time 
knowing that 
this, too, will pass

feelings are not my enemy
i am not alone
i am much stronger than i had realized
my story is not unique
i'm not special

(((((smile~sigh)))))

my faith will see me thru, this i am certain

Is this another new painting, Annie? I love how you mixed paper butterflies in over the paint - lovely blue colors! Remember that we are with you - we five encircle you and hug you!

have a little faith in me: john hiatt

When the road gets dark
And you can no longer see
Just let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in me
And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try
And have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

And when your secret heart
Cannot speak so easily
Come here darling, from a whisper start
And have a little faith in me
And when your back’s against the wall
Just turn around and you, you will see
I will catch you, I will catch your fall
Just have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me
Have a little faith in me

‘Cause I’ve been loving you, for such a long, long time
Expecting nothing in return
Just for you to have a little faith in me
You see time, time is our friend
‘Cause for us, there is no end
And all you gotta do, is have a little faith in me
I will hold you up, I will hold you up
And your love, gives me strength enough to
Have a little faith in me
Hey hey
All you gotta do for me girl
Is have a little faith in me
