@ Sandra — I don’t know your situation so I can’t really advise you on what to do. I will say that there are times when our situations can feel so hopeless and dark that we can’t see the people who want to help us. Look around you, is there someone or someplace that could help you get out this situation? No one should have to stay in a bad situation or feel stuck without hope.

Also, know that I will say my own prayers, and ask others to do the same, for you to find a way back to your happiness. I believe in you and that you can do this:~)

Now that me and my husband are older, he still want to go out as if he is still a young man, still disrespecting my feelings as always. Financial problems has always been a reason why I couldn’t do certain things, like get away from this man and not look back. I made a mistake marrying this man, we live in the house like roommates, and that’s the way it has been throughout the years of this marriage. I pray and ask god to please help me, because I’m slowly but surely dieing inside.

The man i married can’t read and write, I didn’t know that when I married him. And because I was more educated he had numerous affairs on me and became very abusive both mentally and physically. We had three children together and they’re grown now, and what is eating me now is why I stayed in the same house with this man for thirty some years.I’m very unhappy and it’s not getting any better. He didn’t even help me with his children when they were small.

@ dknypg83 — I like what Deb said about “happy mistakes.” Sometimes when you take the wrong road, you end up being someplace you really wanted to be. To me, that’s a “happy” mistake. Thanks for visiting and sharing your thoughts:~)

@ Davina — Maybe it’s a good thing that you can’t think of any mistakes! Perhaps, you’ve already remade them into gifts:~)

You bring up a very good point about mistakes — our fear of making them! This can be the ultimate mistake because we can’t learn if we don’t make mistakes, but that fear can keep us locked in it’s grasp.

I agree about playing games, but perhaps the key to this is knowing that we do play games with ourselves? Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this post:~)

@ Wilma — I feel for your ex. I also agree totally with you that not being able to forgive is one of the biggest mistakes. When you do this, you just let the dark yucky feeling sit inside you and poison how you react to life. So, good for you for seeing your gift and moving on.

My older daughter once told me that you have to like a tree. Sometimes you end up with dead branches that make it difficult for your life energy, but like a tree you have to learn to let go of what’s no longer healthy; that’s what becomes a dead branch.

Thanks for sharing your story and your thoughts, Wilma…I always appreciate when you stop by:~)

@ Hulbert — I really like your idea about living in peace and it is more valuable than being perfect. Perhaps that’s why we are actually incapable of being perfect — peace is that place between. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts:~)

@ Melissa — I like your mantra and think more people should adopt it:~) How can we really learn about ourselves if we don’t make mistakes — they sort of come with the territory!

@ Chris — Bring it back to the time before we knew “mistakes” and it does make you pause, doesn’t it? Think about what babies would NOT learn if they didn’t try and make mistakes…you are so right that this is a calming thought:~)
