Grief and Gratitude

I used to have a blog (here) with a title that had a little nod to Robert Frost in the title.

I don't know where I'm going. You come too. 8-)

I had a great day today, one of the best health-wise days I've had in 3 years. Had to go into town. Smiled all the way home. Feeling good. Feeling successful. Feeling "on my way up" kind of thing. Counting the Teslas because the Boy taught me how to recognize them. They don't have grilles!

Well the dam just broke and it has nothing to do with things medical. The flood gates opened and instead of putting my head down on the desk and crying my baby eyes out, I decided to swim.

I'm going to use this thread however I want. If you are reading here and you want to debate something (things spiritual or political) or post competing words and images or memes, go start your own thread. This one is mine. Read it or not. Reply or not. Share something you think fits or not. It's probably going to end up being a journal of some sort. It could be short lived or go long.

I don't know anything about it until I start writing and create it in this blank space.

This was the thing that broke me. It echoes of the past. The Vietnam War. The Civil Rights Movement. The fear, the sense of doom, the rising up again. That's the short list.

Just post it, Jersey.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
