So here I am at 54 years old - finally visiting myself.
It is a shame that it took the death of my husband a year ago to finally get me to visit myself, but here I am.
So what do I find out about myself?
First, I find that I CAN SURVIVE the loss of a loved one - with God’s help.
Sure is good to have him around in crisis situations.
Don’t know what I would do without him.
Visiting myself has been a weird trip.
I never knew things about me like I am learning now.
I guess as you go on in life you just let things happen and figure it will be that way forever.
You don’t really stop to think why you do certain things.
You take life for granted.
Then being married puts a whole new spin on who you are.
For years I have been this married women with two grown children.
Suddenly I find I am a single woman again.
So who is this single woman?
I haven’t seen her in years and years.
She is so new to me.
I don’t really know if I like her or not yet.
She kind of scares me as I am not used to her and don’t know what she might do next.
I was comfortable with the married Dallas.
She seemed to know everything she was doing and just did it.
This new single woman though is something else.
She is up, she is down, she is confused at times, she is depressed at times, just never know how she might be from one moment to the other.
At times, visiting her can be so much fun and at other times, you just want to get out of there as soon as possible.
I guess it is like everything else though, the more you get to know a person, the better friends you become.
So I guess I will keep visiting this person for awhile longer till I really get to know her really well.
Who knows, I might just become best friends with her yet.
So, when was the last time you visited yourself?
Don’t wait till it is too late.
Have a good day.

Your honesty in this quote was so compelling! Thanks for sharing :)
I was really touched by what you wrote. I think you're going to end up being good friends with this new you! Be blessed.
Oh, my heart goes out to you, as you find this new you. Through life experiences, we sure do learn a lot about ourselves. I can understand somewhat as we lost a 16 year old son just over 18 months ago. But is is reassuring to know we are NOT ALONE. ~~Loni
You really have visited yourself, and when I posted the quote it didn't dawn on me at all that this is exactly what you have been doing. That was a wonderful post--maybe my favorite that you ever wrote.
I loved the honesty in this post. You touched my heart
Such a beautiful post. Thanks for sharing your heart here. {{Hugs}}
The Lord is good to sustain us through our losses, and you have surely been through quite a year. Thanks for ministering to others with your life.
Blessings,
