this morning i thought about wanting to find a therapy group

for old women who always wanted to become something.   An artist,  a writer.   A formal Student of the Universe

and never did.

old women who DID become mothers,  grandmothers and then,  if lucky,  great grandmothers.   While still harboring the urge.  and so,  never quite giving their all.   just their some.   

reconcile

 

MONDAY,  June 5

i love all the responses.   I wish we could be EveryThing,  right?    To become a therapy group we would need to be Real time and that's something beyond my reach.  We would also need a facilitator.   We would need to ask the Universe for that.   Maybe even someone  "out there"  who reads?  and Could?  Who knows.   But in the meantime,   what is the bottom line.   If you want to be a writer,  you WRITE.   if you want to be an artist,  you MAKE ART.  

so…maybe just a Shift.  We'll see.   I met Marti LOOOONG  ago when we joined Story Circle Network.  I'm trying to remember how that went.   I am understanding that sometimes comments are just lost and sometimes those are heartfelt and long and the loss is a bummer.   So…just to say,  in the moment,   if there is something anyone wants to offer Us here and it's 

long

you could email and i would post it…..??????   i would be honored

i LOVE you All.  US.

One of the songs Emrie's kindergarden sang at graduation was  My Name is You.   if you type it in to You Tube…Sesame Street

We All Sing the Same Song

    OMG! You just described me. Although I never thought I needed therapy for it, maybe it would be helpful. And you draw and write here almost every day, neither of which I do regularly. And I’ve come to the conclusion that the formality of education, while it has its purposes, is highly over rated. It’s the learning that is meaningful, even in formal education. Clearly you are always learning.
    For me, I think some is all I have to give–at least now. I tell myself to stop ruing past choices and do what I can today. All I have is today.

    I’m thinking we are that group .. we can relate to each other. We care about each other .. we teach and learn from each other. We lift each other’s spirits .. I know we all try to be there for each other. At seventy I finally have stopped looking back at everything I wanted to be and thankful for who I am.

    Thank you, Grace & all who have commented. These are just the reminders I needed this morning — first day out of bed, where I’ve been sleeping all week with a lung infection. I’ll still need an afternoon nap, but am spending at least a few minutes at the loom this morning because, as you say, this is the only moment we have. So glad to be a part of this wise, creative, and encouraging circle!

    Instead, I will just say that the comments of others ring true to me as well. This circle is amazing because of all of you strong and beautiful women who gather within. (((hugs)))

    Because I have come here for many years…
    Because grace put my name here and thank you grace, because it opened a flood gate that was needed…
    Because here is a place where love, caring, kindness, support of all kinds, humor, questioning, knowledge giving, knowledge seeking, has always been…
    Because all who come here. are wise, strong, giving women, I want to tell you all that my absence from everywhere is due to very serious health issues that my husband is facing and has faced since May 15th.
    All of my focus is on this, my way of coping is to go inward, become quiet as I stand and face. This is how I cope and one of the ways that helps is knowing that this community exists, that without my having to go into details, I am embraced by the deep caring wisdom of all of you. So thank you and know that I hold you all in my hearts as I continue to stay quiet and deal with the unexpected…

    I’m sitting here teary eyed with memory … of the district-wide chorus to which my younger daughter Meliss belonged, called the Rainbow Connection, which was the last song they sang at each concert …
    someday we’ll find it
    the rainbow connection
    the lovers, the dreamers
    and me

    Gosh Grace…this song, this video…the hope of that time…I’m grateful to hear that this is still given to the children, that Emrie could be a part of a school that would choose this song. How amazing that is.

    And I will be checking this one out too. I thought I wanted to write…like write Something, try to publish Something…but that was years ago and I never did come up with that worthy idea. Now, I’m just tired, so – I don’t entertain that idea. That would be my answer too – if I were Tina…tired of looking back, thinking I needed ‘fixing’ and so on. Just want to live now.
