We All Suffer A Few Disappointments In Life....

but normally, we find a way to work through them. It just tends to take time, especially when you're hit hard and your trust trampled. I know that if we're wise enough and strong enough, we'll get around the obstacles, and find the reasons. I've come to one such point in life just now which I have to find the reason for, and sort out in my head. This came at a very pensive time, and being of such importance to me, has stunned me somewhat.
I was perhaps too busy with stuff to notice how things were really panning out. Maybe I should have prioritised things better, but then, we live and learn... sometimes to our disadvantage and frustration, and at a time when you're vulnerable anyway. Lessons placed before us can sometimes be difficult to plough through, but, I'm strong, I'm wise, and I will cope... no fear of not doing.
My Grandson, as most of you know, left this World at an early age... no age at all, in fact. Well, tomorrow would have been his eighteenth birthday, and although it's almost eleven years since his passing, this is a tough time to deal with. I had already decided to take a day out or at least most part of the day to connect with him spiritually on the day he would have come of age.
On top of that, I went to a Godson's wedding yesterday, which was a very happy time, only to return home and find another disappointment awaiting me. Something that was very important to me, and I thought to another, seems not to have been important enough to carry through, and needless to say, this has hit me harder than I thought it would.
I'm finding it difficult to find my way just now, and I know some of you worry about me when I'm not around, because I've received PMs saying so, before today. So... I wanted to let you all know that I won't be around too much for a few days. I'll pop in to acknowledge any responses and maybe post a couple more discussions I have in the pipeline. But, don't worry about me... my health is fine... it's just my head and spirit needs sorting through and getting back on track.
Soon, it will be Mabon, our second harvest festival, so I'm going to busy myself with preparation, walk a bit, think a bit, and decide where I'm headed, for Mabon is a time for thinking back on your growth during the previous year and I feel I have a lot of thinking to do during the coming Season.
On a brighter note, my friend with the runes will be home on Tuesday, from his trip and I daresay, if the news is good regarding the validity of the runes, he will cheer me up somewhat.
In the meantime... Brightest Blessings to each and every one of my friends... I love you all, and will miss you during the next few days, but such is life. I will be back when I find my way again. x

My thoughts and hugs are with you, Darkwing, in these trying times. Life throws us many challenges, and sometimes we wonder why. But i know you are a strong, caring person, who will get through this time. I am sure we will see you back soon, back to yourself. Take your time to work through this time, and just remember, Im here, as all your friends are, so take care my good friend.
Best wishes to you

Thank you, Kay. Yes, life does throw us many challenges, but if we take them as lessons to be learned, then we find a way through and out the other side. I will be strong, as you say. I just have some soul-cleansing to do, and to pick up the pieces of my shattered spirit and put them together.
Sure, I'll be back, and whilst we're on the subject of challenges... how is your Dad getting on? Brightest Blessings, love and light to you and your family. x

Strange how people remark on my aura and the energies around me... some even say they can see it and tell me its colour. I sometimes wish I could see it, Kay, really I do. I can BE strong, but deep down inside, I'm pretty soft-centred and sensitive. But, that mustn't show... I have the strength of the deities within me, and they will help me through. Sobeit.
I'm really pleased to hear that your Dad's doing well at last. The water will be very helpful in strengthening his limbs again... and I pray that will be soon. Good that he can get out and do some of the things he loves to do too. That's brightened my day, my friend. Thank you for sharing.
Brightest Blessings. xx

I know you will make it out the other side, as you have lots of energy around you, and me and all your other friends here are adding to that energy, and hopefully helping you on your way. Thank you so much for asking about my dad. He is slowly getting better. He has started doing a bit in the kitchen, which he has really missed, and he has a good friend who has started taking him down the pool, so he can wade a bit in the water. He cant really do laps or anything, but its one step at a time. Its good to see him getting out a little. It has helped his self esteem as well.
Best wishes to you, Darkwing

Thank you, MsTickle, for your blessings. :) I will get through this, because I keep the faith and have my own little way of dealing with things. I just wanted you all to know that I'm ok healthwise, and that I will be back after a little time out.
Take care my friend, and may the light shine on you and your path. Brightest Blessings. x

Friend, we appreciate your concern for our feelings, even when you are feeling low. I know you have many friends here, and that they will be thinking positive thoughts, or praying for you, as their tradition dictates. You are in my prayers, of course. I have been in places where my spirit is pummeled, as have others, and we wander around until we see the light again, until we have something to give and to share. We will know that you are out there, and we will be here when you come back.

Yes, you have been through some pretty bad times yourself, Gerty but I hope your present happier moments last for a number of years, the bad times fading into the distant background. Wandering around looking for the light is a good description of how I feel right now. I'm kind of lost as to understand the reasons why. However, I'll get there, and thank you so much for your support in the meantime.
Brightest Blessings, love and hugs.

Great minds think alike Lakota because I was intending to go to Hastings Country Park tomorrow, if the weather holds. Here, I can stand atop the cliffs and breathe in the healing salt air. Also, New Moon is due on Tuesday, and I know you are aware of what that means. So, Tuesday will also be a very important day for me.
Thank you for your advice and hugs, and Brightest Blessings on you, my dear friend. xxx

I am sorry to hear that you are struck with something.
Lets hope all of them clear out quickly.
You are right,there are disappointments in every body's life.
currently i am also going through so many.
First i want to change my current job.
I am not getting good calls and whatever I am getting I am not able to give good ones.
Then I broke awayu from a person who actually cheated me all these days but I could not understand.

Awwwww Subha, I'm sorry to hear you were cheated on and hope you're managing to find your way through this, as well as the job problem. It's so sweet of you to come in here and offer me your support when you too are trying to find the way.
Give me your hand, and we'll walk together through the storm. Brightest Blessings, my friend.

Yes we do suffer some disappointments in life hun, but when I think about what I have suffered then read your words, I feel rather sheepish that I should appreciate the people and good things going on in my life.
You take as much time as you need hun and do what you need to do. Mylot will still be here, it always will be, it's a place we can come and go as and when we need to and we really don't have to make excuses or give reasons when we're not here. None of us are expected to be here all day every day. Go take time out to refresh your spirit - we'll be here when you're ready to come back. xx

Thank you Anonymili for your special words. I'm feeling quite a deal better now, thanks to the support of all my friends, who have really been wonderful.
I'm back now, but still a little busy with other things, although I now have the spirit to get on and do them. Brightest Blessings, my dear friend. x

Yes, you're quite right Weemam. We all have our own ways of dealing with disappointments and downfalls and I intend to do just that. I will remember that you're there if needed, as are all my other friends.
Brightest Blessings, my dear friend. I'll see you again soon, I'm sure. xxx

Thank you Butterfly. Yes, when I'm walking along the clifftops tomorrow, I will breathe the air deeply, for I know the salt will cleanse my soul and heal my spirit.
I'm keeping the faith because I know this is a temporary situation and all will improve to a healthy balance. Brightest Blessings my friend and thank you so much for the hug. Hugs are the best things in the World when it comes to times like this. Thank you. xx

Well I knew something was up but you won't come on and talk to me and you know how I worry and that I love you dearly and I am trying to sit here and figure out what has gone of apart from your Grandson which is hard enough for you to deal with
Well when you are ready you know where I am remember I love you and you are close to my Heart and I really wish I was there with you xxxxx

Gabs, as you now know, I am unable to talk about this, at the moment. It's upsetting me deeply and it's quite personal. I hope you'll understand that I need my space for a while, in order that I can deal with things in my own way, sweetie. I have to find myself again.
You take care now... a big hugggggggggggggg to you and one for Gissi, and I'll talk to you soon, ok? Love and hugs. xx

And that is a very good point that you make when you say that time is the one thing that we have to use in order to sort some of the disappointments that we have in life. If one solution is not working, or even hindering that solution then other solutions have to be used in order to obtain the long term goal of our objectives. We take each day as it comes and reflect on our present circumstances. Sometimes we make a decision on the heat of the moment which turns out to be the wrong one, so we make an amendment and try to adjust and even implement other objectives in order to reach a satisfary outcome on a long term goal.
Yes you are right! TIME is the one ingredient in achieving our lifetime objectives.
Have a great life from Deeeky.

On the contrary, my dear friend... I don't believe that time is the one element, here.
I rather think that positivity is the main ingredient, and ridding one's soul of negativity, through whichever we find the most successful channels. Things tend to TAKE time, but we have no control over it. Time is NOT on our side, as we never know how much of it we have left. Planning ahead is ok, but the best laid plans don't always come to fruition. If tomorrow comes for us, we have to make up our minds that we're going to make the best of it and use it wisely, because by the next tomorrow, it will be yesterday and we won't be able to alter it.
Brightest Blessings, in missing you, Deeeky, my dear friend. Take care. x

Hi Darkwing! Yes, at some point in our lives we all encounter trials and disappointments. You are right that sometimes you get caught unaware of it and somehow you are pushed against the wall. I just hope that the love and prayers of people here will see you through with whatever you are going through. Take care and God bless.

Yes, there will be a way, if I can remain positive and strive to my happy patch. In the meantime, I have to find the sunshine to chase away the clouds, but, as they say, every cloud has a silver lining.
Thank you so much for your support, my friend and Brightest Blessings.
