Hi everyone: Today is Thursday May 22. This has been a week of challenges. We found out that the fury that the recent tornadoes caused to all those around us had caused a mild inconvenience for us. We have some minor shingle damage to the roof. We were able to make repairs ourselves.
The hvac was another story we have had to replace the entire system. At least we discovered the problem before the intense southern heat set in for summer. We called in a contractor, they started today and hopefully will be finished by tomorrow. The garden I had complained about loosing last month due to the last snap of cold weather is now flourishing. As we meet our challenges and manage them we become empowered to meet future challenges with assured confidence. I am so proud to have experienced this self-esteem. I pray for a safe and enjoyable Holiday for all of us.

There are day's when you want to sing the song.."I just cant seem to get it right today..." well I thought this was panning out to be one of those days. My heart was heavy. I was repeating some old patterns of aggressive engagement with Da and I must confess I was on the verge of tears. I decided to dis-engage from the conflict and go on-line. I went to my page at Resources to Heal A Broken Heart and there was someone in the throws of Loss and the subsequent Grief. I had posted to her in the past and now here she was calling on me to be a friend in Grief. I felt ashamed at the way I had treated Da (short and snappy). For in an instant I was transformed from wife the right defender to Friend in Grief. This  made me instantly compassionate. I was able to communicate to her in an open and forthright manner
This was like drinking the milk of human kindness. I felt nothing but love for all. It was strange but I had gone to this site to surf for compassion and I found on Resources to Heal A Broken Heart I managed (for a time) to heal my own.

Welcome to my blog. this is new to partingthemist and unlike Weekly Rejoicing with Sunday posting's, or He Said She Heard and Navigating Grief with bi-weekly posting. I'll blog daily.
The Blessing of the Blog is my own Spiritualtherapy. I invite you to take the cyber-journey with me, and that you too will receive a Blessing.
