Needing New Strength!

I talked to Peggy this morning. I haven't been able to reach her since last Friday.

I didn't feel like writing yesterday and nothing much to say today.

 I'm just in a blue period, when it comes to Peggy and missing the connection that we shared.

This morning's call was hard because she just repeated what I said to her.  

Most calls, it doesn't bother me but today...it did.

It is times like this when I  feel used up emotionally and don't have much energy to do the work to communciate with her.

She is still the same sweet person on the phone. It's me...

 I don't want to expose myself to the daily calls that upset me when I am struggling with issues of my own.

I just want her to wake up and be the Peggy that I knew and not this stranger that sounds like Peggy.

Now, I'm feeling sorry for myself but I think that it is allowed on blue days and this has been a Blue Day!

Take care tonight, Peggy.

I will call you tomorrow morning as alway's.  We are Sisters and we Made the

LOVE YOU-MEAN IT promise when we were small.

I miss you so much!  I will feel better tomorrow.         Because.......

The Lord is my Shepard, I have everything I need!

He lets me rest in meadow grass and leads me beside the quiet streams.

He Gives Me New Strength.       Psalm 23:1-3

I love you today, Peggy!

Mary Louise

This is the only entry I have read in your journal but I just had to let you know how sorry I am for your sadness and loss. Im a 32 yr old widow who lost the most perfect christian husband to CA in 2000. The sadness doesn't go away, it changes it's colors-but it's still only a burden Christ can relieve. My heart aches for you. Please do not stop reaching for the Lord-I believe he allows these things b/c he wants us so close to Him! In Christ's Love, Jami

This is my first visit to your journal which I found through Nikki.. I must say that this is very touching and at the same time hard to read because I lost my younger brother just 3 years ago to an avoidable accident. He was 14 at the time and everyday is a challenge to get through especially when everything I see and do reminds me of him. I feel for you and pray for the best for both you and your sister. May God be with you and your family-Gina http://journals.aol.com/darkangelg2181/MiVidaLoca

Mary Louise, Blue can also mean Love, devotion and harmony. You are truly blue for your sister. And very well deserved.
Sincerely,
