When Life Hurts




Ow.  Life sometimes hurts:pain, fear, uncertainly, loss.  Sometimes it is true that we need to soldier on, one foot in front of the other; through our numbness.  Evenutally though a time comes when we should tip toe away to our safe place; a place where we can cry our tears, nurse our wounds, pray our prayers, write our words of pain.  Whether we visit a trusted friend, a place in nature or just a tub brimming with warm water and fragrance, we need to give ourselves permission to go as often and for as long as we need.



Let me find a hide-a-way.

A shelter where I feel safe and secure



so that when life's flood waters rise and threaten to swamp me,
 
and when I feel lost and alone,

 
I may look around and see that I am in fact surrounded by family and friends and sheltered in their love.

 
 
Thank you for stopping in at My Turquoise Kettle Life today,
 
May you be sheltered in love always,
 
Sandra
