Alex you are an awesome wordsmith. You are so tuned into the abstract portion of your self that few people can reach. Thank you for another sharing of thoughts and writing.
Alex, it is not easy for me to read. Had to read it twice. But I understand what you say. We are retired, and have struggled a lot in our lives. But it was worth it. Now we have a life we can enjoy. And I still work as a volonteer. Life is not easy, but it is worth it when you are together. Have a safe trip. Enjoy. Love from the Netherlands.
Alex, even at twice your age, I understand. Too late we learn that the joy is living a life of purpose, and living it purposely. I decided late to do as God asks, to serve him. In return He has given me great joy and blessings. Living knowing my purpose has taken away pain, the pain of questioning and the unknown.
I'm happy for you to have the camper, it is a great opportunity for you and Kelly. Things will go 'wrong', but is it, wrong? There may have been purpose in the breakdown that is yet unknown. Praying for you and Kelly. Have a blessed day, and a blessed life. In His Grip, Cindy
I used to get sooo mad at everything that would hold me up in traffic.. slow drivers, construction, people pulling out in front of me, red lights that turn red too fast, etc.. then I read something somewhere that said something along the lines of: your obstacles in life are meant to be, there's a reason why stuff happens to delay you. And now every time I get delayed, I tell myself it's because God just saved me from being T-boned in that intersection, or God kept me from accidentally crashing into someone. Nowadays I'm not so impatient and I love it 😁
I think this is something I really needed to read.. it's almost uncanny how 8 or 9 times outta 10, God will throw something in your face and it quiets your torment. That's what this did for me today. Thank you 🤗 sending love to yall 💗
Oh I can't even imagine letting people know what goes on in my mind.. I'm sure they'd wonder either how am I still here, or how is she not in a padded room? And I don't even know sometimes... why either one lol I think it's really amazing that you're doing it, especially if it helps people, in which case you do! Heck, yall help people just by letting us watch you! 😁
The pattern is consistent, don’t you find? We humans seek what we think will bring us happiness and joy, yet fail to find it where we thought it was hiding.
After years of chasing what can never truly be caught, I recognized that for me, what I was lacking was a relationship with a higher power than myself. Life still happens, as it always will, but I’ve reached a place where I better able to release the need for control and recognize that acceptance of what is allows me inner peace.
Stay the course of self expression. You are wonderful at it. Dig deeper toward possibly finding you inner tranquil place, perhaps? ❤️
Thanks Anne! I do agree it’s a consistent pattern in life, though I’d tend to think of it more as the track we’re born to, rather than something to escape. The rollercoaster is why we came to the park in the first place.
I can’t type without getting caught in a metaphor, but I digress.
Appreciate you always taking the time to read my stuff!
❤️❤️❤️ I love the way you express your feelings. The way you let go what you didn't want or didn't wsh for. I can rely to you when you wrote: Me don't want real job, just the money. This summer, for us, no trip to our beloved Portugal. But, already saving for next year. I wish you, Kelly and Bones the best! Love you all! 🌹🌹🌹
Read8this has really made me think about things going on in my life right now. I'm having some health issues that have me scared to go to the Dr for. I don't want to be put in the hospital again. (3x in last 3 months) I don't want to be away from my babies (6 cats). But reading through this again I need to ask for help. I'm a stubborn Irish girl, and I don't like to ask for help. However, I am now. So Thank You Alex and Kelly,

Please please put all of your shit into a book! :) I could read your words for hours. Love y’all!
It’s a dream of mine! Someday someday.

Really glad it resonated. It’s scary awkward sharing these sometimes, so it’s always encouraging to hear people get something out of it.

I’ve heard lovely things of Portugal. You’re going next year! I believe!
Yes! I hope so! I feel so well when I am there. I was born in Chile, my husband is Portuguese.
Love it
Very good and very interesting. Keep up the good works.
