Feeling Beaten

I have been so down as of late.  I attribute this to the loss of my wife last winter and things going on in my present situation.  This time of the year is a difficult one.  September is the time of much loss in my life.  I think with the changing weather that is coming so does my spirits and feelings change also.  I get sad and withdrawn.

I have been in a relationship which seems to ebb and flow.  I was so mistaken as I entered into it and now I feel trapped somewhat.  I feel I am bullied into making decisions that effect me monetarily and go against my beliefs.  I often go along just to get along and feel I have compromised my values.  I'm really at a loss as to how to proceed.

I do my best to stay busy.  I train my body.  I pray daily sometimes for hours it seems.  I mostly ask for guidance and understanding.  I also give thanks when God lifts the burdens that are weighing so heavily on me.  I will continue to lift up my problems, turning them over to Him.  His will be done.

I am attending classes with the local Sheriff's Dept and I will graduate next month.  I have learned much.  I have been made aware of much I did not know and feel I will be a better citizen once I complete my training.  I am honored to be accepted and to participate in such a great program.  Alamance County is truly blessed to have a Sheriff such as Terry Johnson.

In closing I will say.  Thank you to who read these lines.  I don't know if anyone does but if so thank you and leave a note so I know who you are.  I love my country.  I love my history and heritage and I love you my friends and family
