Reasons to live

What if you lose sight of the reasons? What if you're tired of keeping it together? My mother died nearly 11 months ago this month. Even though there is meaning and purpose within my life, she is never far from my thoughts. I want to be with her. I have no fear. No, I can't leave my son or husband. However, she was my rock. She understood things about me that no one else did. And, while our relationship wasn't perfect, we were there for one another. Yes, I've talked to my therapist but I need this right now. I had a dream the other night wherein my mother came to me. We talked and I was the happiest that I've been in months. She wasn't sick anymore and we had a good time. I don't want to give those feelings up. They are the warmest feelings that I've had in a long time. I realize that I'm not making sense. Yet, it makes complete sense to me.

I think you make sense. You miss your mom. You wish you could be with her. I'm really sorry about your loss.

I lose sight of reasons to live and that's why I wrote them down here so I could come and remind myself why I need to keep going. I get tired of keeping it together too. It's hard.

I came across this list again Janet. How are things? Are you still keeping your reasons to live list going?

 

[Cat Dancer]

Thanks for bringing this up. I've been struggling a lot lately. It was good to be reminded of this thread. It's been rough the last few weeks.

 

[ladylore]

Your welcome - this list is a great idea. Its great for any of us - struggling or not.

For me life is a chance. So my reason to live is to use the chance as good as possible, to be something.

I'm resuscitating this thread:

A long walk along the ocean shore - fresh breezes, and sailboats dancing on the ocean in the distance....

Playing with cats and dogs - and their unconditional love.

Bedtime stories with my son - I am needed
Being able to be productive in my family - I am wanted
Seeing and smelling the flowers - I am free
All the Love I can share with others - I can share
DVD nights with Popcorn - I am deserving
Taking care of my house and man - I am proud
Helping, sharing, loving, giving, doing and hoping ... I am able

Cuddles. Chai lattes. Walks in the snow. Dinner parties. Learning. Growing. Family who smile when they see you coming. Tasteless Team America and Borat jokes. Shopping at sale time. Norman and Dann dark chilli chocolates. Having to know what happens in the last season of Lost.

Swimming on a hot summer's day, the sent of seasons, the giggles of small children as they discover new things, a really nice home cooked meal shared with loved ones, learning new things...

Hot scones, straight from the oven. No, hot choc-chip bikkies straight from the oven. No, scones! No, bikkies! Can I have both??
Listening to Poulenc with my eyes shut
Warm PJs and hot water bottles
Fresh flowers
Looking up cartoons from when I was a kid on you tube :angel:

I had to look up Poulenc...

Francis Poulenc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Francis Jean Marcel Poulenc (French pronunciation: [fʀɑ̃sis ʒɑ̃ maʀsɛl pulɛ̃k]; January 7, 1899 – January 30, 1963) was a French composer and a member of the French group Les Six. He composed music in all major genres, including art song, chamber music, oratorio, opera, ballet music, and orchestral music. Critic Claude Rostand, in a July 1950 Paris-Presse article, described Poulenc as "half monk, half delinquent" ("le moine et le voyou")...
