YOU HOLD ME UP SO I WON’T FALL

Posted on October 26, 2012 by Judy

Moving was so exhausting that it left every part of my body sore. Originally, I thought my post and writing would revolve around the experience of sleeping in my parents’ bed. I still had the rapid heartbeat in the darkness. As I lay there, I felt the thumping begin to settle down. A warm calmness enveloped me. It was so quiet and peaceful. Finally, my heart slowed down and beat softly, instead of pounding. It was all clear now. I was home. Continue reading →

As a writer, my mood and how I see things is very much affected by when I write. To actually write about feelings as events occur is extremely touching for me.

HELPING ME COPE, MY DREAM GIVES ME HOPE

Posted on September 19, 2012 by Judy

After today, it will be the end of one week coping with two different eyes. I have only 19 more days to go until my second eye surgery. Instead of being angry, I have decided that my husband actually did me a favor by pushing me to move out sooner and separate our money. I am not half blind. I am definitely strong and this is an opportunity for me to embrace it! I am not imagining myself running away anymore. Instead, I am preparing myself to board a big ship that will sail off to a beautiful and unknown destination. Continue reading →
