There is such a process to work through till it all sorts out (if it ever does). I remind myself that life is lived on the path, not necessarily at the destination. And, if we didn't have moments of fear and uncertainty, could we genuinely say we're alive?Madeleine Vedelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349993969117086489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577123711543704044.post-31829271477640173042009-04-06T19:56:00.000+02:002009-04-06T19:56:00.000+02:00A most interesting post.

"the internal life-forces and spirit are strengthening" for you, yes! And they will keep strengthening. My daughter, whom you met 4 years ago, is greaduating from college, and I've been in menopause for a few years. This has been a time for me of blossoming into something that feels exactly right, something I've necessarily supressed for a long while, working and raising a child. I'm writing poetry and taking life at its own pace. My relationship with my husband has strenghtened. <BR/><BR/>From your writings, I can tell you'll be just fine.karenhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03547218457294196281noreply@blogger.com
