white knuckles...

I know i use a roller coaster as a metaphor to my life a lot...

but for me that is what it is...

the highs are oh so high and fun and exciting and so so good...

but the lows are like white knuckle hanging on and sometimes sad and scary...

the past few days have been white knuckle days...

i have been sad...

depressed...

worried...

the thing is about me...

i always get back on the roller coaster and ride...

it is who i am...

our trials make us stronger right?

that is my belief....

it is my experience...

i am buckled in...

and for right now it's white knuckles...

i am hanging on as tight as i can...

today...

i am grateful for so many wonderful supportive friends...

regaurdless if you are right here with me i feel your love and support...

thank you...

today is a new day...

how cool is that?

I am right there on that roller coaster with ya. I hope that that ride has more "ups" then "downs" even tho sometimes the downs can be the most rewarding part of the ride. We just dont realize it till the end. xoxo

[Renee J.]

Yes, dear, Margie, here's hoping that everything is ok. Thanks for always being so sweet! You always make us happy!

Hugs,

Renee

Life is, indeed, a roller coaster ride. As my husband reminds me, without the lows, we don't appreciate the highs. Well, it sounds good, anyway! (lol)
Hang in there - we ARE all right here with you, helping you hold on as you help us do the same.

I love that about you! I love your heart and that you can be the most hilarious person I know and then also in the same breath be the most real, honest and serious. I am sorry that things are rough right now. I love you!

Margie, life is a whirlwind isn't it? I met you at CE in AUgust and I have to say that I thought you were wonderful, and funny, and too much, and somebody that I would love to shoot Patron` with :) I love to ride the highest and fastest coasters. Hang on tight ~ no coaster lasts for very long. And we almost always get off laughing and hugging our friends.

[Sharon Sprouse]

You know roller coaster rides are over in such a short time and at the end, you get to get off, laugh at your "white knuckle" fear and go get a funnel cake!!!! Here's to hoping you feel the sunshine in your heart and the laughter in your soul!! Take care, SHaron

Roller coasters are not nice - been there too .... and even now - since we have had earthquake here in CHristchurch - the aftershocks continue, my heat skips a beat each time... and now my Mum is sick. I often go to your blog - its helps me - thank you. Must get you to come to NZ to teach - would love to have you at my store! a trip away is always good for the soul.

[Darlene]

you are a wonderful soul. I'm white knuckling everyday of my life for the past 3years.. but it has become so routine that I am in denial that it has become my new 'normal' whatever that may be.
thank you for sharing ALL parts of your life. You are an inspiration and it makes me smile to see some of your paper in my scrapbooks..knowing what a sweet person you are that you contributed to some of my creations in a 7degree kind of way. Here is to tomorrow. and wear gloves. no one then can figure out if you just enjoy the ride or if you are truly white knuckling it! :)

[Dru Beecher]

Margie, you are such an inspiration to me. I am going through a divorce right now after 29 years of marriage and I can't seem to get out of this funk I'm in. Thanks for sharing that you go through tough times, too. It's so therapeutic to hear that I'm not the only one with struggles.

I wish you all the best!

Thank You so much for your beautiful honesty. What an amazing reminder that I'm human and not insane (mostly) LOL.
