stumbling: to discover or meet with accidentally or unexpectedly

you see
I wish to stumble upon my inner wise woman. to be really comfortable with my own self.. sometimes I am.. sometimes I'm not.. I stumble.. and if I fall.. I get up.. and stumble some more..
[not even sure if this is remotely considered stumbling towards ecstasy.. but when I looked up tonight and saw St. Rita.. I knew I had to put her here tonight..why? Patron Saint of impossible cases]
my son has gone home and I am sad.

WOW! This photo is gorgeous...and of course she is there to help you get up and stumble towards your own ecstasy!

I am so happy to see you here. I haven't been blogging much and depend on facebook to keep me connected. I couldn't find you at all there and have spent the last hour or so looking for you. Here you are. Whew. Love you. ♥

That's all any of us can do, really, isn't it -- stumble on.

Robyn, to me you always come across as being totally comfortable with your own self~i am sure we all have times when we stumble and feel unsure, its all part of our never ending cycle :)

I hope you don't think of yourself as an impossible case! We all stumble and fall. It's the wise ones who get up and keep trying....so you're already wise. You just have to recognize that.

Awww! I am sorry to hear YOU are sad! I will pray for YOU tonight! Maybe YOU will have sweet dreams of your son!! St. Rita is my kind of saint!

I didnt now Rita was the saint of impossible cases, thanks for that info!

I didn't know about St. Rita either, but I hope you shift your thinking to "difficult" vs. impossible. I'm like you, however; sometimes I just want to sleep and escape the hard stuff. But, like all of who post here, we just keep stumbling along. Such a beautiful saint's picture.

You may be sad, and who isn't when their grown up children go away again. BUT you can sigh with relief as his life is so much better than this time last year, and that can only make you smile.
As for St Rita,may she should be the saint of blogs now as we all stumble from good to bad days and back again. And all written about here!

I love these sentiments about being really comfortable with yourself. I so rarely am, although I try.

Oh darlin', never mind. Our sadness is in equal measure to our joy. Two sides to the coin. I wish your son every happiness. We feel so much for those we love...and please put me down as a stumble chum too!xxxx

I love that picture of St. Rita! ups and downs downs and ups. Onward we move. I think the highs are better now and the lows last just for a brief time.. listen to some great music to pull you up and out of the black moments....makes life worth livin.

Oh how I feel for you. I cry every time my kids leave. Especially my little grandchildren because I know I won't see them for months.
I know of no way to deal with the sadness except to stay as busy as possible.
