I Am Not Broken!

The May Art Journaling challenge has been posted and our word prompt for May is FORTITUDE. On May 2nd, I had an unexpected experience that I just had to put on a page. I documented it with some photos, and used one of them as the background for my layout.

Journaling reads:
I don’t mind the quiet or the solitude. In fact, I rather like it. Yesterday was
difficult though. I walked out the door and the view hit melike a ton of bricks. All the memories came rushing at me and it was overwhelming. I had to dig deep for my continued fortitude that has gotten me thisfar. The view that Chuck loved somuch almost broke my heart again in it’s glory. He used to say we had “a million-dollar view” and indeed we do. The sky was a magnificent blue and it just took my breath away. May 2, 2025

Reactions: Betty Jo
I sure felt that two days ago, Betty Jo. I guess I've been so busy trying to put my life back together and was just starting to feel like I was doing that, so this was totally unexpected, but what an amazing feeling of love. :heartpumpred: :heartpumpred:
Cheryl, without a doubt you have done an amazing job putting your life back together. But, there will still be moments filled with intense love and loss, just like when you stepped out that door. I know it's been a lot longer for me, but now, even though it still hurts so much in the moment, it’s not about being broken; those moments remind me of how deeply I've loved, and have been loved, and I believe, are a part of my healing journey. ♥
