I'm trying to heal. Most days are good. Some moments are not. Yesterday was lousy - father's day. My father's betrayal probably stings the deepest. I had trusted him. Isn't a daddy supposed to have a soft heart for his little girl? I'm supposed to be his baby. I was always robbed of that. I never had that security. The older siblings always had security. They'll never know. Not only was I abused by them, but I grew up in poverty, and had that insecurity. And then my parents turned their backs on me.
For too long, I was the woman in chains. Now, I have a loving man who has helped me to believe in myself, so I could free myself. I'm still so insecure. It is hard not to want to fly back to the security of the chains.
Crazy, I know.
You better love loving and you better behave
You better love loving and you better behave
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
Calls her man the great white hope
Says she's fine, she'll always cope
Woman in chains

Well i feel lying and waiting is a poor man's deal
And i feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
Trades her soul as skin and bones
Sells the only thing she owns
Woman in chains
Woman in chains
Men of stone
Men of stone
Well i feel deep in your heart there are wounds time can't heal
And i feel somebody somewhere is trying to breathe
Well you know what i mean
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
It's under my skin but out of my hands
I'll tear it apart but i won't understand
I will not accept the greatness of man
It's a world gone crazy
Keeps woman in chains
So free her
So free her

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

There is in every true woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity; but which kindles up, and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.

"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars."
Larry King: What, though, Gordon, do you say to parishioners who say what do I do with my anger?

The one resolution, which was in my mind long before it took the form of a resolution, is the key-note of my life. It is this, always to regard as mere impertinences of fate the handicaps which were placed upon my life almost at the beginning. I resolved that they should not crush or dwarf my soul, but rather be made to blossom, like Aaron's rod, with flowers.

Ask not for victory, ask for courage. For if you can endure you bring honor to us all, even more you bring honor to yourself.

Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight.

I am thankful for small mercies. I compared notes with one of my friends who expects everything of the universe, and is disappointed when anything is less than the best, and I found that I begin at the other extreme, expecting nothing, and am always full of thanks for moderate goods.
