Hello everyone,
I found this weeks exercise comforting and relaxing. When it asked you to focus on a special person my mind went straight to my ex mother-in -law that just passed. She was a wonderful woman and I felt as if she was my mother even though I never married her son. She never turned her back on me and both of my children. I often called her and complained about my current boy friends and then my husband. She always listened and gave her best advice and it was comforting to even hear her voice. The world is a much lonelier place without her and we all miss her dearly but I am comforted to know that she is in heaven and dancing with her husband that she missed dearly. This exercise made me feel close to her and I'm not sure that we were to focus on a person that was dead or alive but she came to mind and didn't leave. I did this exercise every night before bed and it mad me relaxed and comfortable enough to sleep. I don't know if the exercise was intended for what I experienced but I was thankful for the experience. I hope that everyone had a good exercise this week.
Hi Marci
ReplyDeleteI too thought about so many of my love ones when as to focus on that special one. My mother was the strength and backbone of my family. Many time when she was alive she would speak about her deceased mother and how she was such a strong woman. I thank God everyday for the strong women he has placed in my life.
Morning Olga,
ReplyDeleteI was blessed to have such a women in my life because I really didn't have a mother like that. My birth mother is still alive but we are not close. I got most of my advice in my life was from unrelated strong women. My Good friend that I call mother is one of my first bosses when I got out of nursing school. She took me under her wing and encouraged me to get an education. My ex mother-in -lew that I spoke about in this exercise was more of a mother to me that my birth mother. What was amazing about her is that I never married her son and left him when our daughter was 3 weeks old. Even though I did have her granddaughter she never treated me different after I left hr son. She truly treated me like a daughter. We would talk about everything and anything. All my boyfriends had to meet her and then when I finally got married she loved my husband, which she met at her husbands funeral. It was so hard to let her go. It does not even seem real yet. I don't know if it ever will.
