I've been in that emotional place where you find yourself right now. When all hope disappears it's a cold dark place to be.

There are no magic words to lift your spirits yet I wanted you to know that someone read your heart and understands.

20 years ago I lived daily in that land without hope. Now I am glad to be alive. Waves of loneliness can still wash over me at times yet I appreciate the things in my life and find purpose in my faith and in encouraging others.

My circumstances didn't really change all that much, it was my attitudes and beliefs that changed. I'm still not married, still low income, still find it hard to let people in, and still have some wounds from childhood. Yet I choose my friends more carefully and stay away from unsafe people. I can set boundaries. I can accept myself, imperfections and all. Discovered I wasn't as damaged and different from others as I had believed.

My heart and thoughts go out to you today,
Judy
