Kid at Heart (Part 2)

By: child at heart now loving life (View Profile)

I might be wrong, I am almost sure that I am wrong, but way too afraid to venture out and seek and find such a man.

When people abuse their children or rape someone, they do not think of the long term affects these acts are going to have in their victims lives. I find that one still can suffer from even just one act of violence for the rest of their life.

Now I listen to my music and even though I cannot carry a tune in a bucket, I sing loud and proud. I look around my apartment and all I see is happiness and joy. I may not make a million dollars, under 700 a month I get but is just enough to get me by and let me live what I call the good life.

I really do not consider myself a survivor and never have, people survive car crashes and plane wrecks. To me these are survivors, I am just lucky and grateful that I am alive even to type in my story at this web site.

Thanks for listening ... LLL ... (live well, laugh often, love always), kid at heart

Dear Child at Heart, I don't think it's about survival. It's about courage. The courage to learn to love yourself as you are, to make the changes and improvements that you dare and can handle without stress and to continue singing loud and clear. You might not be Barbara Streisand or Diana Krall or Celine Dion... but you are YOU and (bucket or no bucket) singing is a right as well as a privilege given to all of us at birth. You are a brave woman now. Don't look back. Just keep on walking toward the next goal and when you have reached that one, think up another. You're on your way! Bravo and Love, Suzanne@suzannewhite.com
