There is alot of meaning in that story, isn't there???? <br /><br />I read your post yesterday --and wanted to tell you how sorry I am that you are going through this... It's truly time for daughter to move out and get on her own....You have been too good to her--and have enabled her to live at home much too long. Just my opinion. I know that answers are never as simple as this... Life is hard...<br /><br />I have a situation with my middle son and family --and have finally gotten out of the mess totally. I'd rather be no part of their lives than to be hurt over and over... We never know what the best decisions are --and I'm sure that all of us make plenty of mistakes. BUT--with God's help, we will make it and life will be GREAT... For me, I truly try to surround myself with positive people.<br /><br />Hugs and Prayers,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-92051845291455832452011-10-13T14:03:21.314-04:002011-10-13T14:03:21.314-04:00A GREAT story!!

Reminded me of how we so often see the speck in somebody else's eye, but neglect to even notice the log in our own!<br /><br />The drama? Yeah, totally get that. I have a friend who also talks about the "committee in her head." All those little internal voices that love to fan the *drama flames* in our own thoughts and keep us from the joy we desire.<br /><br />Life is too short...yes.<br /><br />Friendship is truly a taste of heaven. And though I am geographically removed from you, I still feel like you live "just down the block!"<br /><br />XOXOSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34486160.post-27437866568658673502011-10-13T12:34:27.288-04:002011-10-13T12:34:27.288-04:00Love this post, Sandie.

But it's necessary and life is so much better. I also love the serenity prayer. It's helped me much.

Oh, wait, Beth wants to say something.... Hi! Beth here....I love the last part of your blog today....I agree you "should" try to stay where there are friends (and family), we have moved around quite a bit and I find it harder each time to get close friends. Living in a small town most people have been here all their lives and have family and friends right here....being "new" 5 years now, I find they are VERY nice to me but we don't have a "close" friendship....it does get lonely....BUT Remington certainly helps!

I struggle with the weight of it and pray that in time I will be able to let go fully. Sigh. The scars are deep--but I'm sure they will heal eventually.<br /><br />I'm so glad that you feel better today. I pray that you will always be surrounded by those who will lift you up when you feel like you cannot make it on your own! <br /><br />It's hard to be open and subject yourself to scrutiny.
