In my mind,
I run like an African Gazelle,
filled with grace,
speed and style,
while in actual fact,
I am a robust Heifer,
trundling along,
with a rolling gait rump,
also filled with grace,
style and attitude,
to make up for the speed.
Go ahead! Have a chuckle at my expense.

I’d be willing to bet that’s not the way your husband sees you. We’re always more critical of ourselves.

🙂 the elephant that made me chuckle – I thought, at least she’s skipping on unlike me who for some reason could not locate any of the three ropes in the house!

I re-read “Was I Truly Guilty…” and cried again. There’s a line from a good American movie, “Remember the Titans”, that I’ve used as inspiration for myself and my loved ones, when life begins to grind us down: “Some times bad things happen, for no reason at all.” Forgive yourself, and let the healing begin, It will happen. I will pray for that, for you. Have a wonderful holiday season, dear Ms. J.

Here I feel both of you, I mean the elephant also fully understand what you have written in the Post “The Truth As it Is”.
I appreciate your frankness and open mindedness.
And the elephant is really using its brain right.
This is the real state of everyone, but we act smart as if we jump all the time.
The Truth as it is.
My Salutations Jacqueline!
