Having three major losses late last fall one being no longer having a car has been a difficult adjustment to my life, having to ask and depend on others is very humbling. I knew I could survive winter but I have always been a summer person and was aware it would be hard.
I am slowly moving into acceptance and gratitude for a new life one which is very limited but also rich in that I am surrounded by nature. To awaken each am with the song of a cat bird outside my window is a blessing. His songs continue throughout the day till dusk. They lift my spirits as do the visits from mother deer and fawn who just wandered through the yard.
One on side of the house sings the cat bird on the other I can hear a cardinal who might be an offspring of Mr. "C". From the pond comes the chorus of green frogs, tree frogs and the deep voices of the bull frogs. This peace of nature feeds my creative spirit.
Through the Grace of God may we find blessings through new eyes. I thank Him that in deep healing I am now becoming aware of a different life one which has allowed me to adjust to changing circumstances and to embrace a new me. Sometimes loss can be a catalyst for great change. It is not easy but if we persevere God will see us through.
