Happy Thanksgiving

I’m reading blogs, and websites that are filled with so many wonderful and interesting poems, and articles with phrases, and prose that take my breath and make my pulse race. Some of the things I’ve read are painful, shocking and even mind-blowing. I wish I had twenty more hours a day to read everything in them. 

Blogging is something new to me, and I’m still not sure where it’s going to go here. My hope is to do something worthwhile. As I’ve said, my passion is for those less fortunate, and to do my part in stopping child abuse.

There is so much more to life than just ourselves. We’ve all had our low points, but most of us can learn from our mistakes and move on.

And yet, even on this day of thanks I want to leave you with this thought: There are those out there who are so unhappy, so lost and miserable that they are thinking of killing themselves. If we say to them: “Think about all the good things in life. Don’t dwell on the past. Everything will be okay.” That’s like telling a person who just had both his/her legs chopped off to get up and walk.

My true writing career began thirty some years ago while going through a valley, alone. I’ve come to believe that we all have a purpose in life, our path to walk.

Now that my middle son Chad Engstrom died on October 14, 2014, the rest of my life is not lived for myself, but to leave his legacy, not only because he was my son, but because of his beautiful soul.

May God guide me…. For our earthly selves are far from perfect, but may we be perfect in His love.
