Second Day/Way- Talking to myself

[Patricia]

Lost in the middle of nowhere,feeling stuck and frozen as ice.I decided to quit.What a great relief! Everything would be different, my life, my family...
Now I know I was not lost; I had found myself again.I could smile and laugh.
The chains that had been keeping me there had disappeared.
I knew then ,I was back.I was happy as I am now. I had recovered my life
Definitely my best decision in life (choosing my husband comes first, of course)

(Reflections while thinking about the time when I quit my job 5 years ago, a moment of great decisions and after loosing my father, a kind of crossroads)

Of course not, Mary.I'll do it too, I sometimes don't have the strength to do it, my IC also plays with me whenever he has the chance.Thanks God I have my husband, my soulmate and love who keeps telling me when are you going to write your book? ,and I haven't started it yet,but I'll do it soon
Thanks Doreen for your kind words.Glad you find them healing

Great image Camille "Wings". I think that my wings have spread enough to fly again as I used to. The thing is that at the very beginning I felt almost lost, just because my father , who was my leading soul was not there to guide me.But then while thinking about him and his lost I became aware that he had guided me during his last three months with us and even during his last night here on earth.He gave us love until the very last moment with us.I know for sure he didn't want to leave us alone, and that at the very beginning of his illness he was afraid to die.As time passed by I realised he was changing, his way of talking and the things he said were more profound, more than ever before.So I thought, he wouldn't like seeing me sad,my own family needed me more than ever.So CHANGE WAS the solution and the start of everything.
What CHANGE gave me:
A new career :I became a counselor last year
A new me: I recovered my true self
Joy: I laugh more often
Lesson: Love is what really matters
My mission: Passion for what I do- Love for my soulmates-Writing my thoughts-Being ME
I wish it could help you.You can count on me whenever you need it
Love
Patricia

Patricia, your word/image post is very moving for me! It really is inspiring to me at this time in my life.

I am still in the ice stage of grief, myself, but slowly thawing...and hope to be laughing and passionate once again! You had a journey through loss and came out of the dark with triumphant new wings! BRAVO!

Within the last few years my idea about loss has become more to mean change, not only outwardly, but inside the soul also! Soul lessons! What did I learn in my special relationship with my soulmate? What am I supposed to be learning through his loss...? The first question, I can answer in hindsight, and hope to do the same as this monumental change has taken place in my journey...I hope to spread my wings again too!

Thank you for sharing this!

Love Camille

Thanks Mary for your words.It feels really good to open up someone's mind and creative muse.Looking forward to your creation.Hugs

[Mary Hicks]

Beautifully expressed emotions, Patricia. Doesn't it feel good to do that? Your writing about "crossroads" makes me wonder how many of those I've had in my life. That will be some creative reflection for me to do today! Thanks for the hint. XO

Thanks Detta for your words.Loosing my father gave me the opportunity to remake myself, that's why I generally express it by simple words like LOST=OPPORTUNITY TO GROW.I think that was one of the things he left me as a gift, apart from being a great mentor.

Stunning picture Patricia and wonderful words to accompany it. Having lost my own father some years ago and changed my job straight after I can resonate with your deep rich words x D

Thanks for sharing this, Patricia. It's so true that sometimes when we are called to do something unusual or not seemingly logical ... in the long run there is a reason for it ... usually because there is something much more important we need to do!
