Waves Washing

The tears flow like a river, the pain runs deep I have been caught in these ravines before I have climbed my way out then, somehow Confusion whirls, the head is not clear Nor are the skies yet today I am hoping the ocean will bring clarity Answers sought, as I am on my way Waves have a way of washing the shore, The body and the mind Soft mist upon the rocks, touching my skin Smaller rocks to hold onto, security in a way --- As life is turbulent today --- Heidi Sands 8/31/17

So sorry you day has been rough Heidi. Today has been kinda rough for me too. I had to get up before the roosters and be here for my hubby, then he didn't do well with the therapy today. He has a hard time just sitting up it seems, but is getting better. They said he has to be getting better soon as he will be going to a nursing home for rehab. He dreads that. Anyway, he wants to say something, "Great work on your incredible write, I hope your day went better than it started." Emma :)

Hi Emma. Thank you, it was a rough day, but it got better after I was able to stop at the beach in my travels. I am sorry you and Russell have had a rough day too! I know how hard bad physical pain is, especially long term and I understand why he dreads the nursing home. I will continue to pray for him, please let him know this. I appreciate your comment and my thoughts are with you both. Thank you so much. Please keep us posted when you can, thanks!

Some days the seas are rough but we must battle through to reach the calm

Thank you , something new happened today in a different situation. It seems like it is getting tossed my way now and I have to ride out the waves.
