I would have been tempted to cut the rope on the tethered balloon and to hell with it. . .I’m going up, up, and away!

Now. . .how did that song go?

Yes. . .there it is.

Thankfully I was never much of a drinker – I didn’t like the effects alcohol had on my mind and body. I actually stopped drinking altogether many years ago and have not returned to it.

I’m sure that if your liver could speak, then it would thank you for your recent sobriety.

Good luck with your job. Rise above the shallow people. They are but stepping stones on your journey. Have you tried earning through writing? There are numerous places you can try writing for online.

Have you seen some of the writing out there? The bar has been lowered so far down it’s like a doorstep now. You wont know until you try. Dont think about it, just write and submit. Even if you do get some rejections, and you may in the early stages, once you start you are only developing and growing your ‘writing muscle’ and experience. Plus, you have all of us ‘thoughtsters’ here who have your back! 🙂

Ouch…

Hi Becky, and welcome back again.

We love a good read, so write away!

Looking forward to reading whatever you care to share. Writing is a drug, better than Facebook and social media and remember, every word you write and post makes you a Published Author!! Congratulations – you are now a Writer! Add that to your resume. 🙂

Just be careful. With the way social media can be, saying the wrong things about work, whether regarding employees or customers, can get one fired.

Hi! Looking forward to reading your work.

You are so right about how our caring and worries as mothers never end. But we do look forward to the day when we can sit back and see that our children are on a good path and we can put some of those worries aside. Well….we THINK those days will come.
I am sorry you are going through something with one of your children.

My advice would be…..and knowing someone like you most likely doesn’t need it…..but I would tell anyone…double up on the love. Give that child more of your love in this moment because they need it more. Assure them you will always be there anytime they need you. Sometimes they need to go through things on their own. Respect their process and again….let them know they are loved and needed. Throw in those extra long hugs too.
I know I wanted to wrap my arms around my sons and protect them forever from all hurts that are out there in this world.

If you need an ear…..I am here.

Sending prayers 🙏🏼

What’s the story in your mind when you are experiencing the constant ache?

I have spent a lot of the past few decades worrying about my children … 3 of the 5 are doing well; 1 is trying and making progress … 1 is really struggling. I am trying to learn to chill out and just be supportive and listen and not take on all of the stresses that their lives could generate in me. So, I understand at least some of what you are going through.

P.S. CrashingAngel is a pretty cool name.

Congratulations!

Awe thank you. I am proud. It was a lot of work and 10 pg papers ha ha but so worth it.

Congratulations.

I am SO Happy for you.
I remember when you first posted about going back to school. You did it while working and raising your kids. What an accomplishment.
I hooted for joy when I read this and my son knocked on my door to check on me. Of course I had to tell him all about this because HE chose to take a break from college and I am still waiting for him to go back.
“She works …she has kids….AND SHE DID IT!” I told him…..of course I had to rub it in some 😉
Congratulations!

Lol I’m good

I feel for your loss.

He will forever live on in your memory.

What a beautiful sight that must have been…..seeing that Eagle. Your father of course chose THEE most magnificent bird to deliver his message.

I am so sorry for your loss.

Thank you. My father had an eagle put on his prosthetic leg so I have no doubt it was him.
