it's possible to become accustomed, inured even to the dirt, the pitch that soils the soul as one makes a living...possible to turn a blind eye as ideals transform into pragmatic principles...possible to ignore the hardening of the soul and the bloodlust for ambition and vengeance...possible to put aside the somewhat discomfiting feeling that there is something amiss inside...
it is possible.
but grace makes it possible for the slate, any slate for that matter to be washed clean again. and for the soul to feel the lightness it was born with. to transcend the dirt and squalor and pettiness...and to give thanks with a grateful heart indeed.
i am thankful for everything that has happened. and if i did not believe in God, i would attribute so much to coincidences. but i know that more is at work. Glory be to him, and may His blessings spill forth in your lives.
(i say a prayer for a certain someone who truly needs His healing touch now. i know the years have not been kind to you, and you have suffered much but we all love you and accept you as you are. and we will not rest until you have known that, have risen again to live fully for another day. thank you for being there for me as well...we have seen much together, and i have learned a lot from you. it is difficult, but we will walk every step of the journey with you. believe us...believe me. AMEN)

Yea, I understand that it's not easy to climb again when you fall down on your knees. You tell yourself you have to stand on your feet, for your family and friends, if not for yourself. It's so hard so hard. But you can only do it yourself. Your friends are there; your family is waiting for you. THey are giving you support; at the most, they can give you a hand during your first few steps. THe rest of it, you'll have to do it yourself. And you know it's not gonna be easy. But do it anyway. THe first step is always harder. But it's comforting to know, there's light at the end of the tunnel...
Pet, I wish you a very Merry Christmas. Enjoy your turkey; glee at your presents; most important, be blessed with your family. Hohoho...:)
