Rainy days
Posted by Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Thursday, August 14th, 2008
when you feel as if you’ve lost something - something that wasn’t yours to lose in the first place
sadness overwhelms a life
but you didn’t really lose it, it’s just different now
and it NEEDS to be different, of this you are sure.
And yet,
sadness hovers like a fog, clouding your mind.
it’s like the rain outside, pouring down hard and fast, blinding your vision for a bit.
then it eases off a little, just a dull drizzle. happy pleasant thoughts creep back into the mind and
you think, ok, I’m ok…I can do this.
and before you know it, the heavy rains reappear.
a steady downpour.
visibility is minimal.
you have to find the little room inside your mind that you go into when times are hard. The room that offers you solace and comfort… from the depths of your very being. the room is always there for you, it’s a lonely room but a necessary one. without it, the mind and the heart are unable to heal.
avoid the sad songs, avoid the love stories, avoid the details of another…. focus on breathing. in and out, everyday.
This too shall pass.

Vonnieon 14 Aug 2008 at 10:55 am 8Jesus said in John 14:1 ” DO not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God and also in me” verse 27 ” Peace I leave with you my peace I give you. I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
These are words I needed to hear today and I hope they can bring you comfort too. Thinking of you.
