The Most Trying Time of My Life

The Most Trying Time of My Life

It was a beautiful day to take a hike in the country. I found a rock to sit on so I could take in nature.  The mountains were green, and the birds were singing.  I noticed a few wildflowers intertwining themselves with the rocks and a red-tailed hawk flying above. I sat quietly and meditated. 

After the death of my husband, it was the most trying time of my life.  All the support I received from many people and places helped me immensely I thank them.  I am moving forward into new territory. I feel like a butterfly coming out of a cocoon. My thoughts are clearer and I am feeling stronger.

I can stand up for myself and say "NO" when something does not feel right for me.  

I have been writing and entering many contests.  I am almost done with my short story “Joe Boots.”  It will be entered into the Cinematic Short Story Contest.  I am also writing a western series “POLONA." I received an accolade when I entered it into the ScreenCraft Virtual Pitch contest with about 1200 other entries.

I am enjoying this time of my life.  Things are falling into place and I feel blessed with my family that surrounds me.  We help each other and love each other unconditionally.  They are my love and light. 

 

Let me leave you with this note  – May you grow stronger each day.  Reflect, Stay Safe, and be well during this global human pandemic.
