Rollercoaster life

Just when I thought I was at the end of a particularly difficult three years of struggle, I have found it is going to lumber on for another while yet.  In the last few days things were looking bleak again and my faith in my life ever improving was being challenged.  And then a couple of unrelated strangers showed me some simple and touching acts of kindness which have given me the strength to meet what may lie ahead.  

There are some very unpleasant people in this world - that I know for certain, but thankfully there are far far more wonderful souls who are happy to extend the hand of kindness to others and look for nothing in return.

I am so touched that my followers have not abandoned me.  I will (please God) be able to do some dolls house work again soon and look forward to sharing that.  Meanwhile, thank you everyone for not deleting me!!  I do not think I could cope with more rejection at this point.

  3. Sending you a hug of understanding and hope for light at the end of the tunnel.

    The past 3 years has been more than a little difficult for me too.

  7. Hi Carol. I haven't been by to visit for a while and I'm so sorry to find that you're going thru hard times right now. So many people here in "blog land" care about you and hope you feel better soon. Time is the only thing that heals. Today is the 7th anniversary of my first husband's death. At the time that it happened, I felt like my whole world came crashing down around me and our children. I learned many lessons during the last seven years but probably the most important one is that God has a plan for each of us and we have to trust Him and allow it to unfold the way it is supposed to. Trust and allow and take things one day at a time. I promise that if you do this you will start to see the magic come back into your life. Take care and God bless. xoxo

  12. I just wanted to say that your cake topper is one of the few that's remained on my etsy favorites list the whole time I've been on etsy -- they are positively delightful, and I hope the end of your roller coaster ride is soon approaching so you can enjoy a smooth ride :)!
