...downs happen...obstacles to overcome...and recognize the ups once again.
well done Kathy...

Temporary or not, sometimes the most difficult to get through because they never seem to end. Beautiful Kathy.....

Be safe,
Karen

Indeed, the rich tapestry of life...

Yes, I was about to have a meltdown too, and now I am revived in this beautiful sunshine..Find something that makes you feel good and let it soak into your spirit that is so beautiful.
Peace, love, and light,

Yes strength comes from meltdowns,, glad it is temporary.
Love, Christine

An honest heart, if we've never melted down we wouldn't be human Kathy.

Excellent write, this is a topic I write about a lot in my stories: how parents cope with unbelievable tragedy/illness/disability. Very well penned, Kathy; brava!

((((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

Meltdowns happens only to volcanos, then again...you are one!!!!! which from inside hot lava made of words burn the skin of our souls and the flesh of our hearts...
There is no meltdown...just an eruption of the blues now and then...

Not so sure all these "obstacles" are to test our faith . . . What of those who have no faith . . . They also have obstacles . . . Does overcoming our obstacles make us stronger and wiser, hes indeed it does . . . But it does that to the one with faith and the ones without . . .

Life changes like the weather, it can't always be warm and sunny. But it only last for a while. Thank you for sharing Kathy.

I'm sure your faith helped make the meltdown only temporary. Yesterday, my wife and I were trying a business event and when 1 person of the 40 invited showed up -- I pouted for 5 minutes and then got on the phone and started calling more people.

My impression of you that I have from reading your works is that you get right back up and go again.

Life can and will always be a series of ups and downs and as I used to try to explain to my children when things weren't going well or they had suffered a dissappointment...it is like a roller coaster and for every peak there is a valley...

I marvel at the courage some people show when life has not been kind to them, that takes great faith in Him.

Life as a perpetual candle is tough, but hey, it can be done. I should know. It's good to remember that wax can be reformed-- that it's plyable, that when scented, the heat just makes us more beautiful, that burning from the inside-out is normal and natural, that there are millions more just like us out there doing the same melt-down stuff. But God is a proficient wax-molder. That's good to keep in mind too. Thanks for all you do. --Charlie

So true, in my weakness I find strength, check out my latest article, I think it might encourage you, the Lord gave me the words, so i wrote them
God Bless

A meltdown vividly portrayed in this fine poem,Kathy!
I pray all is, or will soon be well!

Love,

It happens from time to time, but human nature dictates us to get out from an uncomfortable situation and try to put ourselves into a better light. Very nice, enjoyed it.

Be well,
Sheri

Sorry about the meltdown but really liked this format. Just a little different style for you. Cool.

Thank goodness it was only temporary.

Love ya--RaeLynn

I definitely think you are entitled to a meltdown! But, like Karen said, keep it temporary!
Love,
annie

i think that we are all entitled to the ocxcassional meltdown as long as we get back up afterward--so, you go girl, meltdown but keep it temporary!

We all can idenify with these words. The best meltdown going is when my grandson doesn't get his way. Watch OUT!

like this one.
