Never give up!

As I write I ponder the struggles I have had and my family as well, is it because of war, was there a preexisting sign I failed to recognize, or is this just circumstance. Hmmm ... Well I  have come to accept I have no control over most things in this life. There I said it! Whew! That's a relief. My soldier has recognized he is in need of some desperate help and I could not be happier! the power of prayer so many people have been praying for us I cannot thank everyone enough for their commitment and prayers. this was and is a hard case. I just wanted to check in with everyone and say We are doing better, each day living with more hope and living life to the fullest but always keeping God in the center of our lives.  I leave you with this as I escape to be with my family if you ever get a chance I highly recommend Rascal Flatts newest CD Changed it is so powerful and a positive message appears to have went into each song , the songs are so powerful they talk to you or perhaps someone you may know who is struggling , pick this one  up I did and of course for free at  the library !  hehehe although things are tough right now, I am always trying to save a buck! Enjoy your day! :)

REALITY CHECK

I've been missing my blogs and I feel so lost without it, the lack of not being able to release what I am thinking makes me believe I am stuck or stagnant.  I attended my Women's group hosted by the Vet Center I am so thankful  for this place : this place is my release it allows me to recognize I am not alone in this journey there are other women out there experiencing the same or similar.  Living with a husband with PTSD makes you a subject for PTSD yourself. So instead of trying to help your partner /loved one you are failing to assist yourself. BUT that stops after awhile because in life you cannot change someone , you cannot make that person think the way you would like them to think  or act even if it is in their best interest, therefore, you make choices either you choose to watch the spiral of destruction or you  move on with your life without or without this person.  Whatever decision you make is yours and yours alone, no one can tell you the caregiver, wife, loved etc what you need to do you are in charge of your life, we all have a life path planned out for us so we make our choices and live with them good or bad we deal with whatever consequences are at hand.  I am taking better care of myself after all, if I cannot take care of myself how will I cae for our child and family, I truly can't , therefore this is my new happy place or shall I say THE STRONGER , HAPPIER me making the changes need to make for me and our child for the betterment of our family.  I also realized I have to run spellcheck on every entry I guess I slacked  always in a hurry , the rabbit didn't win the race for a reason. HAHAAHa Have a great day!
