Sometimes things are too hard. I think that I am strong enough, or maybe hope I am. So far I have managed, but sometimes it feels overwhelming. I will be fine and I really don't have any cause to complain. Many have it much tougher for much longer. I have so many advantages. I see things coming my way that are massive and uncaring and they will come whether I'm ready or not. I'm not ready, nor will I be, no matter what I do. I must just trust that I will cope or accept failure with grace. Grace I have never had. I want to be the shield, I want to be the support, but I'm sure I will be neither. Perhaps the best I can do is not be an additional puzzle to solve.

Lots of people care! Including me.

That means a great deal to me. Thank you.

*hugs* If you feel overwhelmed, it's for good reason. And you are far more than a puzzle to solve.

Thanks, firecat *hugs*

There are things nobody is ready for. Accepting failure with grace may be better than the alternative, but being graceless in that context isn't an additional failure.

My recovering Catholicism has trouble with this concept, but I will ponder. Thanks.
