Sunday Scribbling - "Fellow Travelers"
When I think back on my personal journey I can't help but think of all the people that have influenced that journey. We are all travelers on this planet and our choices touch the lives of others, like ripples in a pond. I have zigzagged my way through life and could never forget the people who have touched it.
"There can be no testimony without tests."
My grandma taught me about love, affection and forgiveness.
My mom taught me strength and to try new things.
My Clients validated my work.
My ex husband brought me down into the pits of hell, revealing my fighting spirit.
JD taught me how to have fun after I was divorced.
Steve, no longer with us, taught me self-worth and that I deserved more.
Dr. Olney gave me hope in his clinical trials.
Friends with illnesses give me weapons to fight the fear.
My children taught me perseverance, patience and reasons to keep fighting.
Vicky & Mark held my hand on my spiritual journey.
My neighbor Lynne taught me about money and how to receive help with my ALS.
Dave taught me how to love again, romance is real and gave me a future.
Bloggers have given me a voice, encouragement and friendship.
These people came into my life and changed its direction in a positive way. Not everyone treated me well but I still learned from knowing them. Many are no longer fellow travelers but others continue to touch my life. I like who I am but there's always room to grow. I can't wait to meet my future fellow travelers.

This is truly a beautiful response to the prompt, but then I would expect nothing less from you - I always appreciate your posts!
Perfect response Tammy! And you reminded me of all the people who have influenced my journey - even those who aren't part of it any longer.
That is such a beautifully crafted piece, honouring all your fellow travellers. I am so struck by the fact that you can appreciate even those who didn't treat you well. You are one amazing woman in so many ways!
This was a wonderful way to acknowledge all of the people who have stopped you along your path. Even the people who do not always have our best interests at heart teach us something important about
ourselves.
Happy weekend,
Tammy, I love your so positive posts. You are an inspiration to me!

I love this line the best: Not everyone treated me well but I still learned from knowing them.
What a healthy way to look at some of the jerky people we all encounter.
I loved the way you used fellow travelers. I agree with you ... our blogger travelers have helped my journey!
