I have lots of positive news to tell but I will have to leave you in suspense for a day or two. I really want to take this post to talk about the huge support I have been getting. Over the last two days, I have been overwhelmed by the emails, messages and letters sent my way; encouragement, love and prayers. I cannot tell you how incredibly grateful I am for all of it!
I am not at all good about asking for help. I try not to dump my emotional state on other people, though my poor family gets it. I'm not proud or shy but I figure people have their own problems and lives.
And when I get fearful, I start battening down the hatches. I withdraw and become less communicative and less social. It's my way of protecting others from the raging storm. As one of my spiritual advisers, dear Fr. Michael, told me, I don't have a problem living in the moment, its seeing beyond the moment and emotions that is my challenge.
So to receive such outpouring of support at a time when I was flagging a bit is huge for me. It has lifted me up incredibly. In some posts back, I spoke of the "Little Engine that could". Its your love, support and prayers that will be pushing me up that hill.
I do believe that we are brought into each other's lives by design. We have no idea what part we have to play or what impact we have. I consider it a privilege to be included in your lives, no matter how small. Although we may be separated by years gone by or by miles, I send each one of you love and good thoughts and keep you in my prayers.
Stay tuned for lots of news tomorrow.
All my love,
E
