The Joy Of Growing - SweetSue Goes Perpetual

SweetSue said:
I'm still getting used to my time being my own, still searching for my personal rhythm. I suppose I need to let that happen gently instead of forcing the issue, eh?

It'll come with time.

Nice update.

Sue, your ability to be open about your grief and discuss it so publicly is impressive. I've experienced close to the heart loss in the past year as well, and like a typical guy have bottled it up to the point that it's surely unhealthy. I came to this forum to learn about growing medicine, but wasn't expecting to get genuine life inspiration, too. Thank you <3

Thank you for that kpunx. :Love: It's part of the reason I let myself be so vulnerable here. So many of us are faced with these things and most of you are men who've been trained to suck it up. Unfortunately, as I'm now discovering, grief doesn't play by the rules. I figured if by sharing I could help even one other person find a way to handle their own grief it was worth the personal risk. You aren't the first person to tell me that, and it solidifies my resolve to share the pain as well as the joy, because after all, the joy rises from the pain if you let it.

:Namaste:
 
A sweet late night. I've managed the bureaucracies, done my Callanetics, walked the 1/2 mile to and from my favorite restaurant for my favorite comfort food meal, the favorite R&B playlist on the device and now I get to settle in and finish pot #3. Ahhhh. Life is sweet.

Dinner was at 10 PM and felt completely natural. Dangerous. It appears I've turned into a night owl. :cheesygrinsmiley:

"Then we'd go running in faith. All of our dreams would come true. And our world would be right when love comes over me and you." Yeah. Sweet. :battingeyelashes: :Love:

This Dark Devil Auto shifts my mind into this warm, loving place where laughter just bubbles out. Gotta grow this one again and soon. :laughtwo:
 
just for grins

I stumbled on an enticing novel on the Kindle I share with my daughter and had to share the dedication. Funniest one ever! :rofl:

"Mom,
When I was scared of what people would think
if I wrote a steamy novel, you encouraged me.
You told me to write what was in my heart and
let my imagination fly... When you read this,
remember, you asked for it." - Lainey Reese
 
No Woman, No Cry

Looks like Ms. Cheese Candy has bounced back just fine. Glad to see all of the ladies under the LED. They are gonna love it!

Not sure if this is a coincidence or not, but when I switched to your thread ol' Bob Marley came on with "No Woman, No Cry". The meaning of the song is different than I thought, and I think it's very fitting.

Urban Dictionary said:
Contrary to popular belief "No Woman, No Cry" was not a song written about getting over a girl. They are the words Bob Marley sings to his woman to assure her that he will return. Basically saying, "No woman, don't cry." In the song the man is a traveling minstrel telling his woman he will come back for her.


"So dry your eyes I say, and while I'm gone
Everything is going to be alright
Everything is going to be alright now
No woman, no cry. No woman, no cry"

How much more can I love you guys? Good God, I'm a blessed woman. How can I not come out if this stronger than I've ever been?

:Love: :Love: :Love: :Love: :Love: :Love: :Love: :Love: :Love: :Love: :Love: :Love: :Love: :Love: :Love:​

Now, I'm going to find that song on YouTube.

And I was just telling myself it might be time for bed. Not that I'm tired, mind you, just that it's 3:30. You'd think I'd catch on that time doesn't matter for me right now.
 
That was great fun and had the added benefit of lulling me to sleep. How sweet.

Good night :Love:
 
A quick drive-by....

:ciao:
 
Mornin Sue....have a happy one eh!:circle-of-love:
 
come by the journal sue miss seeing you post there but know u r busy love and strength being sent
 
I was just going to drive by after finishing several pages. Be assured I read them all. :high-five:

But I decided to leave a mark on your pages again. I wanted to thank you for letting me know how you are going through your grief. Stay strong Sue, your openness will help us all. :green_heart:
 
grief

The mail brings cards from family and friends that loved and miss him too. Every one gets my undivided attention - these people are grieving too and care about my well-being. I can't say enough about how much I love them as well and how I hurt for them.

But every single card feels like it's slicing through my heart. Now I have to find a way to stop sobbing again.
 
I like that FatRob. Thanks. :Love: I think I'm ok now. Those things hit fast and hard and I'm trying to learn to just let them run free. It appears to be working to a limited extent, so I'm hopeful. It's hard to feel bad about grieving for someone that special.

I think I'm ready to grieve without so many sobbing spells though. I'm still not drinking enough water. :straightface: Do something about that Girl.
