Dear Reader,
I'm feeling sad today and right now it feels like there's no solution. Someone in my life has been making bad choices for a long time now, and every time it looks like they might turn things around, they take three steps backward instead. There's always been hope in my heart and I really believed in that hope, but today after I hung up the phone--all hope was gone. Even though my words were reassuring, "I'm confident you'll make it this time," the truth is, I'm really not sure at all anymore.
When hope is gone and sadness overwhelms my soul, after I sit with those feelings for a while, then I want to get angry. Anyone will do. If I looked around I could probably justify letting off some steam, and I may even be in the right. But my anger would be misplaced. Anger will not ease my sadness. My sadness won't instantly be cured. It's a process working through feelings. It hurts so much.
So today I sit here with my sadness, but tomorrow, ah...go ahead Suzanne, let yourself dream...perhaps it will be an easier day? Maybe the sun will be shining again and if I look real hard, I might even see a glimmer of hope.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
Suzanne Beecher
