[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 627118, member: 17461"] Oh, this is beautiful. Maya Angelou said something similar, once. Asked where or how she achieved the strength of character and purpose she so easily displays, she said something like: Through understanding that God loved [I]her. [/I]That God knew and loved [I]her[/I], which meant that she was here on purpose. She was here on purpose. With that, with getting that in her bones, she was able then to love God back. And from her love of God, she takes and gives and takes and gives, fire and strength of conviction and passion. It was beautiful to hear her. And this piece is beautiful in that same way, COM. So...that is where we are all going. :O) I would love to be that strong, to make that kind of difference in the world. Cedar Interestingly...this is the way difficult child daughter talks about what she did. That her life came to feel meaningless; that she felt she had to revisit the past and clear it. I think the drug piece was not what she meant. That, she fell in to and maybe, defeated the purpose and the plan. Or maybe not. I don't know too much about things like this, anymore. At the same time? I feel so differently about people who are nasty and abusive. So I am changing, alright? I just don't know who it is I am changing in to. I like myself just fine this way.
