life
Maya Angelou knows why the caged bird sings. I don't. I don't like cages. I want freedom. I need freedom. I am trying to learn how to be free. Sadly, despite all the desire there, I really lack the skills necessary for a free and peaceful life. It is like I have a deficit in this area of life. Like I never learned it. But, the good news is, I have recognized this, and I am putting one foot in front of the other. I am determined. If I fail, I will stand back up, wipe off the debris, and try some more. Because, the alternative is reprehensible. For my children, and for myself, I must succeed.

Freedom sounds and is good. But the fact is, I think we all need and crave for those boundaries in our life. Boundaries that we know if we stay within them, we will be safe. Not cages or high fences that forbid us from going where we want, but the hedge of flowers that show us where we belong.
It seems no matter what age we are, we have to learn to adjust to another circumstance, take another one of lifes tests and hope we pass it, or get pushed down when we are wanting in the worst way to just stand. But God helps us in all circumstances to "stand" even if we are on the ground!!
You are tougher them me my dear daughter, and I admire you
Love
Mom
