Walk On

Readers & friends, girls & gents,

The past month has been really hard for me, and it's taken its toll on my health and sanity, but I'm doing my best to fight for life.  I won't give in to despair.  And to all the people out there who are struggling with life issues, please stay strong and don't give up!  Let me share with you a poem that inspires me.  No matter what anyone thinks or says about you, try to find your true voice and sing out to your heart's desire.  However you want to do that is up to you, but sing out.  Nobody can take that away from you.

This is a poem by the great lyricist Oscar Hammerstein:  

"You'll Never Walk Alone" (1945)

 

When you walk through the storm

Hold your head up high,

And don't be afraid of the dark.

At the end of the storm

Is a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind,

Walk on through the rain,

Though your dreams be tossed and blown.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone.

You'll never walk alone. 

And here is a little bonus caption. ;)

Wisdom in the sands

If looks could kill

Mile-High Club (a gift for Marti, belated birthday :)

Oh dear, I was so overwhelmed by life troubles that I forgot to give my sister Marti a birthday caption on February 7th!  Here it is, and I hope it will still be welcome, even if it is late!  Happy belated birthday, my sis! 

I am alive

My dear friends and readers,

I've been away a long time, and some of you have worried about me, my friends especially.  The truth is, my life has been a kind of Hell for the past few weeks.  It has taken a grave toll on my health and my mind.  That was never my intention, nor was it just an accident.  I have done wrongs, and I have had wrongs done to me.  Karma is the balance.  Right now, I can honestly say that I'm barely holding on.  But even if I'm holding on only by my fingernails, my fingernails are long enough. 😇

I will come back.  I must struggle against the obstacles against me and return to being the Karen that you know, with wings to fly and wind to soar.

Please don't lose faith.  I am alive. 👰

With affection,   - K
