Broken Pieces

I have been struggling to write for a while now; unfortunately I have been so blocked.  I know it is grief causing me to be empty of words; grief for so many things; some personal, some known.  It is funny how it affects your whole world. 

From of course your heart being broken, mind being foggy and physical issues, not the least which is exhaustion.  Thankfully through my paintings I am able to release emotions I don’t even realize are in me.  

Recently I just had the first anniversary of my Dad’s death; which seems like only yesterday, to losing a friend of his and now two long time dear friends of mine.  Life has been kind of sad and rough. Sometimes my goal is just to get through my days right now and that is ok.

So I will try to remember when I feel this broken I only need to turn to God and ask for his comfort and peace, not to mention faith. I need to keep taking one step at a time and remind myself I will get through this. I need to reach for my tribe and not be alone.  For none of us are ever alone, we just need to ask God to send whom and what we need. And for that I am so thankful!
