The weight must be suffocating. My heart aches for you Brandie.
Trin Glad you liked it. I didn't know commenting separately earned points. The whole competition thing is foreign to me. I only write when necessary.
thatoneguyinslc My sisters blog is what drew me in . I too have been impressed by the caliber of writing on this site. Thanks for commenting.
Feeling comfortable in our skin makes all of life more meaningful. Congrats on the weight loss! You should be proud.
stevendedalus You are kind. Thank you for the insightful. I suppose I will continue writing, but only when the urge hits me. I don't really have all that much to say.
XX Lying seems to be a natural reaction to life sometimes. It took me a while to come to terms with how often I tell falsehoods to save face. Self-preservation can be a powerful thing, but in the end it only makes us feel empty and fake. I'm with you. I don't want to go back to that life either. It requires constant awareness and conviction.
roadkill I suppose you went with anonymous because you prefer I don't know your identity, but for what it is worth, holding onto the pain only creates more chaos. Working through it is excruciating, yet liberating. Writing helps me release the junk I've held onto for so long. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Brandie Thanks for reading my silly thoughts. Your compliment means the world to me, considering I hold your writing in high regard. I hope things are looking brighter in your life. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Angie No need to remove me. I enjoy the correspondence, and I truly appreciate your kind words of encouragement. I'm so grateful God has placed you in my path, and I look forward to all He has in store for us.
bgrins I am actually grateful you mentioned my blogsite. I may not be able to express myself perfectly, but it's so uplifting to know others care about what I have to say. Besides, progress is the goal -- NOT perfection. Thank you for your kind words, and thoughtfulness. You are an amazing man of faith, and a phenomenal spritual parent! I agree with you about being honest. It's risky, but I'm slowly beginning to believe the benefits outweigh t
Marvin Cooley The shadows are comfortable. Stay there as long as you need to. You will know when it safe to let people see the "real" you. I had to learn to accept me, before I could risk it with others. NJForever My sister introduced me to Joeuser, which meant she had access to my writing. She new I was fragile, and she was always very encouraging. Having friends on here keeps things interesting. <B
Recently a treasured friend discovered my blogsite. He stumbled upon it, after visiting my sister’s post. I referred him to her articles because I believe she is a gifted writer, and I wanted to share her musings with others. It never dawned on me that my site would be fair game. When he mentioned visiting some of my old articles, I instantly grew uncomfor
This is adorable! Do you remember all those shots of Kody on the pot? Jay was infamous for catching you on the throne and snapping a picture. Your baby is precious Brandie!
I hope you find your lobster Brandie. Let me know if the yahoo personals works for you. I'm on the hunt myself, you know. P.S. I admire your choice not to date until your are officially divorced.
You are a brave soul friend! I like the butterfly.
Hey. I hope you have a happy New Years. I'm sad I missed seeing you while you were in Texas, but I understand your distance. Hope all is well in your life. May God bless your family in 2005!
o dear, that could pose a problem. I have no advice on the situation, but I will say ILSA also . You seem fun! Trinitie
I just returned to Fort Worth, and Nora is doing much better. She will be weak for awhile, and I will be spending the entire break in Lefors to help out around the house. The doctors said it may have been a minor stroke, but she will return to normal. It was very scary for awhile, but I am thankful for the many prayers lifted up on her behalf. I need her so. I am terribly sorry about your situation Brandie. Is there anything I can do
Brandie, I am leaving in the morning for Lefors. Nora has had a stroke. Please pray.
Thanks. I've heard you live in my hometown. Is this true?
Brandie, What is going on? Your post frighten me. I have nothing witty or warm to say. Just know that I am concerned.
Imaginit, Yep. The only problem is you can't see the rainbow, until the rain stops falling.
Perhaps you are right. Should we want it to?
Love you too Brandie.
