A Safe Place

Is it just me that longs for a safe, quiet place where the world can’t harm or disturb my existence? I picture this view from my favorite dock on a lake in Wisconsin – the water gently lapping over the rocks of the shoreline – so peaceful and calm –  soothing and lightening my soul.

My mantra this month has been forty-one and done. After my forty-first surgery, a rough one, I am so ready to never plan another  – to be finally finished with reconstruction and laser and the drive for improvements with my burn scars. My desire to have healthier eyes with lids that properly close  started a series of procedures that hopefully will pay off down the road.

But I’m feeling my age and my body protests those drugs for anesthesia. Recovery was so much easier when I was 30! Truly – I just want to be content with who I am and where I am at in life.

Come new storm or tempest, I’m okay.  The foundation of my life is strong. i have faith to weather the latter years…with hope and a prayer for calm waters…
