I Want To Believe...



Everyday is much the same, I wake up, I go to work, I come home, I blog and then I attempt to sleep.  I've been working hard to motivate myself to do other things, I really need to sleep.  I try to fill my mind with anything so I don't have to think, maybe I could sleep.

Nothing changes, I remain the same and still I can't sleep.  My mind goes over and over every detail, every thought.  I'm still the lost little girl I've been for years, I tried to fix her, make her better but sometimes you can't fix broken things.

I wonder about precise incidents in my life, wishing somehow they could be different, maybe I wouldn't be so damaged, maybe I was damaged long before... what is my purpose?  I need to know, I need to understand.

No one has answers, people tell me to hold on, the good is near... really?  Where?  Every time I've tricked myself into believing there is good for me, I'm hurt, why do I work so hard to make myself believe? 

I don't expect life to be a walk in the park with no challenges but really can't something work out to make it worth all the trials?  It's not that I don't see blessings, there are many.  Maybe I'm not thankful enough.  

That's not true though, I'm very thankful and I always try to see the good, even when it's buried so deep, I sometimes have to dig it out.  I'm lost...  wondering if I'll ever truly find my way.

There has to be a way, right?  I used to believe there was always a light.  It's been so long since I've seen it that I am beginning to think I fabricated it in my past.  Maybe we see what we want to see, maybe our hearts could handle no less.

I just want to believe again, believe in myself, believe in love, believe in friendship...  Will I ever?  Maybe then I could sleep...

Making Each Step Count



I've been feeling a bit guilty, I have been trying to keep up with all my favorite blogs, I'm so behind...  I've decided to start anew tomorrow, I've had so much going on but starting Monday, no TV... So lots more time in the evening to catch up on my blogs. 

Today will be rather busy but I'm sure it will settle down by the evening.  I did catch up on a few favorites tonight, I was awestruck at how much people are handling in their lives and still working at remaining positive. It seems we all have an abundance of challenges that are attempting to overwhelm us.

It's hard not to get caught up with why me?  Why do I deserve this?  I don't have the answers but I can tell you that I seemed to learn my biggest lessons from these experiences.  It's not always fun or easy but I always end up finding the reason.

I keep planning my day more, I want to have as much structure as possible, it will give me less time to think...  not that thinking is bad but prolonged thoughts of an idea is not always advantageous.

I'm doing what I need to move on, praying every step I make is moving me into the right direction.
