Hanging On
When I opened my email today, this was the daily blessing I received from a list I am on.........
"When I despair, I remember that all through history, the ways of
truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and
murderers and, for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end
they always fall. Think of it...always."
-Mahatma Ghandi.........the author who sends the quote/blessings goes on to say....
Often, when we are in the midst of turmoil, and all around us is
spinning out of control, it is diffcult to believe the storms of
life will ever pass. In such times as this, we can, it seems, do
nothing but tie a knot in the end of our rope and hang on. And this
is all we need to do. We need only to hang on to love, hang on to
light and hang on to truth. For when the storm has passed -- and
they always do -- these three will remain, as strong and certain
and invincible as they have been since time began. As Ghandi said,
love always wins..................
I am hanging on as tightly as I can.

I believe that TRUE lovers travel through all of God's worlds together - hand in hand. You and Lou are TRULY lovers - in every sense of the word and beyond. This is such a transient place for us - a flash in the pan. Thank you for sharing so personally with us and know that my family, too, is holding yours and Lou's hands no matter what is happening.
The love you and Lou share is so real and no matter what Cathy nothing can take that away from you. Life can take so much as you well know but never the love and bond you and Lou have. Know I am here for you in thought and prayer and holding your hand from a distance.
I love the Ghandi quote! This must be a day for finding encouragement in one's email...
Mine contained this scripture and it is perfect for me today:
Matthew 6:33-34 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
You've tied a good knot, Cathy... a knot made of love. Hang on tight!

P.S. Love the pictures!
Hi Cath ... look closely because many of us are here to hold you up ... we will be there when holding on seems unbearable. Sending much love to you and the boys.
Cathy, Lou,
Walking with you,
through the valley,
hoping you're taking each moment,
precious as oxygen,
drinking it in,
soaking it up,
storing these minutes in your heart,
forever.
love you...
