[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 763170, member: 19522"] Aloha Kalahou, Mahalo nui for your kind response. Your words are always so soothing. I so understand the part of posting being painful. At one point I felt a need to step back, for fear of being consumed by sadness. But, I also found myself slipping away and would come here to garner strength. I have missed you as well. I must say, I have felt your presence and the gentleness of your thoughts from posts long ago are well remembered and appreciated. What has helped to sustain me is my work in the garden- but I do miss my morning walks and have to get back on track with that. Covid did a number on me and I am trying to come back from the long haul symptoms that prevented my usual routine. Slowly but surely. Holding you with love too my dear. It is a hard journey to be on, but it is what it is. Sometimes I feel strong, triggered times, I have to make effort to get back on my feet. I understand the hope that our loved ones remain in jail, all too well. I have heard the same from Tornado. I don’t see much of Rain and have not spoken with her in a long time. Her sister said she asked her to go to rehab with her, but she replied that she didn’t need it. Prayer is powerful, I will hold my two and your son in prayer and hope they find their way. You are right,[I] if it is to be. [/I]Your new mantra reminds me of my dads favorite quote from Epictetus “Seek not to have things happen as you choose them, but rather choose that they happen as they do, and you shall live prosperously.” Acceptance. That is what I am trying to navigate. I am glad that your grands are well cared for. It is a hard journey for these kids. I so feel your thoughts on the need to be low key and peaceful. Stress is a big trigger for my arthritis. I have been retired for over a year now, and although times are getting tougher financially, it was the right move for me.

My granddaughter deserves a healthy Tutu, she deserves to live a peaceful life. Mahalo nui Kalahou. You stay strong as well. I so appreciate your comforting words. It is a new day.
