Tired

Of missin' my ex-wife......always lil things that remind me, like a song we both liked or an email sayin' she's in a good college now, not from her she hasn't talked to me in months......have you ever felt your soul sigh?

 

Yes...


But not for the ex-wife.

 

Sorry you’re feeling that way, you might feel that way for a while.The holidays can trigger those feelings, too.

 

Almost like a rollin' wave on the ocean....

Holiday time just serves to remind me that I'm virtually alone in life these days. First Christmas that will be spent without any family whatsoever

 

Maybe start a new tradition of your own? I think it can be hard when we are missing people, but from where you were when this first happened to now, you've come a long way, for what it's worth. ((hug))

 

Perhaps. I am livin' in a homeless shelter.....not so sure that's considered an improvement of life

 

Damn man I wish you were a little closer. We'd go out for Christmas breakfast or something.

 

Maybe one of these days man, take life one second, minute, hour, day at a time.....just flow along.

 

I meant in your outlook, I didn't know you were living in a shelter. I echo what dice said.

 

All good sister. Just ridin' out the winter here & then I'll be packin' up & walkin' to who knows where.

 

My grandmother who passed away a few years ago used to say if I came to her with a dilemma “God never gives us more than we can handle.” But, I wish He didn’t think I could handle so much

 

Yep. Relationships, just other shit to. I think about just grabbing the sleeping bag and ride off into the sunset.

 

not near as often as i feel my brain sigh, but sure.

 

San Diego is a good place to be homeless. I have been homeless here before. If you ever do come here, I would help you out all I could.

 

Same here, RH. If you find yourself wandering the Cornish countryside, you are welcome here : )

From what I have learned of you, I think you will be alright. Life's going to keep throwing pain and hardship at you, but you've got what it takes to turn that into a beautiful life.

 

There is a reason why so many religions and philosophies have sprung up over the millennia that center around how we deal with suffering... It seems to be the one surefire constant in the human condition. Whether it be the Buddha and joyful participation in the suffering of the world or Christ hanging on the cross, how we deal with loss is at least as important as how we deal with joy.

Frankly I'm glad your soul still sighs. You're still alive. You still yearn. Happiness and peace are still attainable, even amidst all the pain and sorrow you continue to experience.

Keep them walking shoes on, Running Horse, you still have many miles to go.

 

Let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees will be bare, and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit.
Anton Chekhov

Because i'm on a Chekhov kick and it seemed appropriate for this thread.
Things will get better <3
And I echo the sentiment expressed by others, if you ever find yourself in the great state of South Cackalacki lets get coffee or drinks or food or go to the zoo or whatever we feel like doing, gosh

 

You are among friends, dear Chief Running Horse Beating Feet

 

One of life's great pains, isn't it? From the Bible to Shakespeare to pop songs on the radio. Lots of souls are sighing with yours, if that is any comfort.

I have been feeling this way about a good friend of mine who disappeared from my life, and I don't know why. It has been a year, and it still makes me sad whenever I think about him.

This song is perfect for this feeling, I think:

 

I do.

My soul sighing is like my lungs breathing anymore.

What you have to learn to begin paying attention to is when your soul smiles a little. That's what you want to remember.
