just a thought...

This is just something that I found that says exactly what I feel...

I just hope one day that my daughters realize the truth!!

Whenever Life Is Getting You Down,
Daughter, Remember This...

To solve each problem one at a time;
to take each day as it comes.
To stick to your goals, no matter
what happens,
and press on toward your dreams.
To keep your attention focused on
the future,
as you consider the solutions at hand.
To look for the bright side,
even though it may be temporarily
covered by a cloud.
To smile often, even when a frown
feels more natural.
To think of those you love,
and know that they love you, too.

No matter how difficult it may seem,
you have within you the power,
the ability, and the knowledge
to make things better.

well written, it's always important to stay positive even through the tough times, and always remember that life always gets worst before it gets better. But keep your head held high and keep tracking forward into your dreams. Another thing that helped me was to remember what i was thankful for, and live life the way its intended to be lived. Forgive the ones who let you down, and bring back the light that shined, so they may one day feel your love once again.

Actually Frog I didn't write that...

but you are correct it is well written. See I have had my fair share of problems in life. And I know first hand that things always get worse before they get better. It has taken me 2 yrs after my divorce to finally get myself out of hte horribly depressed state that I was in. I was so depressed that I actually did not think of my children because it hurt so bad. Now I know that it does hurt but the only way that I can move past the pain and actually heal is to deal with the emotions that I have. I am still dealing with depressive emotions but have dealt with them enough to start thinking about what my children think of me. And I don't want them to think that I do not want them. I want them to have that forgiving attitude and forgive me for my absence.

I thank you for the motivational words. I think that I could greatly benefit from a conversation with you!! If you have the time.

well, everyone can relate to those words because we all go through this at sometime in our lives, possible in our own ways. Weather it be more or less pain we go through, but I can always say we are all human and need to help each other instead push ourselves away from the truth. it doesn't help if your always trying to "hide under the rock" but always know you have good true friends that are willing to help, anytime.

p.s. your children will always love you and will forgive you, just be patient and understand that there are forces at work building you up to make you stronger as a person so you can honestly say you can do it, and know for sure that god will never give you too much you couldn't handle, he wants whats best for you and loves you dearly.

He is certainly pushing my threshhold farther than I ever imagined it would go! and yet agian is making me stronger than I ever imagined to be.

This conversation might to best to be personal. Don't want everyone knowing all of my personal miscomings. Especially since most of them are very tramautic. :/

only post what you feel comfortable posting im not asking you share your pain with the world but sometimes we need to, just so we can relate and get guidance and understanding.

You're too kind!! <3

Awh, nice poem, like frog said, I believe everyone can relate to it in some way shape or form, so it was nice of you to post it :]

well I'm glad you obtained some sense of enjoyment out of it. Just reminds me that some of my emotions are not always excluding me from the norm of society but in fact it is actually including me more!!
