Very powerful pieces, Julie. Fearless as ever. When your heart is lighter I hope you will write some more. You are so expressive and I want to read the poems you write when you are full of the joy that you are so good at communicating. Keep smiling, you'll turn the corner. No matter how heavy the load we always do xxx

Thanks. When I feel this way, I always battle between possibly infecting others with my gloom and the benefit gleaned by others knowing they aren’t alone. A fine line I think.

The wind will always change, tides turn, I’m old enough to know that now. :)

It's important that we all know we're not alone, and your being so truthful about the human condition is a comfort to others. As you say, the value of getting older is the knowledge that all things must pass, both good and bad. Experiencing the lows makes me appreciate the highs all the more. That's not to say the lows aren't hard of course. You just keep putting one foot in front of the other until the sun breaks through the clouds!

Oh bless you. That would be nice wouldn’t it?

Sometimes I wonder about posting ‘downer shit’ but I have to write as I feel and it’s been a tough few days with the relentless rain and other household disharmony. X
