Thank You… Thank You… Thank You!!
BySometimes prayers do get answered.
Sometimes after months and months of agonising uncertainty, prayers get answered.
Sometimes, when you feel that all hope is lost and you will never again feel safe, or have anywhere to place your faith, prayers get answered.
Today, my prayers got answered.
And whilst I will NEVER understand why I had to endure month after month of agonising indecision. And why my faith had to be tested and re-tested and re-tested again. When all of this could have so easily been solved a very long time ago… AT LONG LAST… I can breath a sigh of relief… I feel joy again. I can feel safe again.
And in many ways, this is but a temporary reprieve. I know that in order to NEVER have to endure anything like this again, that my work has only just begun… at least now I have a chance. I have quite literally been given a New Hope…. a fresh start.
To say that I am grateful beyond measure is to truly understate the situation. My heart can barely contain the relief, the gratitude, the shear joy of the situation.
And so to all who offered so much love and support and understanding during my most difficult time….. to those who had to endure my moans and bemoans… I humbly apologise and offer my most sincere gratitude. You have been my strength, my comfort, and my most importantly… you have been my friends.
I love you all.
P.S… I actually wrote this post over a week ago, as a preemptive strike. I was expecting my answer the following day, and yet it still took another week to arrive. But I wrote this trying to capture the feeling I would have once it did arrive… and now that it has.. well, I am just hoping that life can get back to some form of normality.

I do still need to find a way to let go of the frustration at the timing of all of this…it just feels like needless suffering to me… but I know there must be a very good reason for it.. I’m just not seeing it from my very human perspective. But at least we are there now, and I can breath a sigh of relief. Thanks so much xxoo
Congratulations to you! Love that you wrote the post paving the way to happiness! Enjoy every moment! <3
I did my very best all along to believe that I would get the desired outcome, and writing the post a week before it happened, was my way of affirming to the Universe that it was on it’s way. Thanks so much for commenting xxoo
Just so happy for you! Keep up the great work! xo
enjoy it, that feeling and never let it go…. Love ya, congrats friend…
Thanks Deb… at least I will know now that I will have a roof over my head for a little bit longer at least… and can start concentrating on more productive and creative things than just worrying and stressing. love ya back. xxoo
What happened?
I won’t bore you with all the details, as it’s a long story. But it looked like we were facing unemployment, losing our home (that hubby and I built together), having to move away from my children (who are just starting out in life). And hubby and I haven’t lived in the same house for almost a year due to his work. Now all of that is solved. And in a weeks time, we will get to live together again. He has a new job only an hour away from here. And it will be financially tight, but we will still be able to keep our home (for now anyway).
And my Dad is now officially Cancer Free, after almost 2 years of battling, and treatments and surgery, he is 100% cancer free.
Yeeha!
SO, SO glad that the sun has broken through the clouds for you at last, Tracie!
Me too Donna…. me too.
Happy you’re happy, makes us all happy…
Fantastic… lets spread the HAPPY!!!!!
Tracie, so happy that you have reached the other shore now and .. that life and every day fills you with joy and appetite – I never doubted one minute that you will come out feeling great one day. You have so much ahead of you now … just go for it.
Wow… thanks.. I have been so busy being relieved, that just now when I read your comments “just go for it”… for a brief second a wave of fear spread over me… You are right… I have to go for it now… I don’t have anymore excuses, or distractions, or obstacles… nothing to blame if it doesn’t work out. It’s all on me now… Wow!!!!
You etched this out beyond last week, because, you knew…….It is impossible to be left by, a perfect Universe when, the perfect You is operating from within…..
Your post has spread the happiness! We are so obviously all so happy for you!
Spreading the happiness…. now that feels like the old me again… wow.. been so long since I felt like the old me… this is wild. So here’s to spreading the happiness from now on. Thanks Dave… you are amazing!!!!
i am so happy and relieved for you! and no apology necessary! you were real with life and that is okay! xo
Thanks sweet girl. xxoo

Dear Tracie, I am so happy to hear your happy and relieved tone. No matter what, might happen next,, for sure you have been inspiring us all here! Keep the strength and say the prayers! .
If anything good has come out of my months of struggle and stress, I hope that my experiences have been able to encourage others.. and now I just hope to spread the joy for a little while. I am SO over struggle.
Hip Hip Hooray! I’m So happy for you—you deserve it. xo
THanks Laura… I just love seeing your smiling face. I’ve never told you that before, but your avatar can light up my entire computer screen. And that wonderfully big smile on your face, is EXACTLY how I feel today. xxoo
To hear the relief in your words makes me that much more aware of the struggle you recently endured, so I am happy for you to be in a better place today. Just keep moving forward, and don’t forget that the people out here that stumbled across your little patch of the internet have stuck around because of who we glimpsed behind the photos, and that person is someone we all wish blessings on, every day, in as many ways as possible.
Wow…*choking back tears* right now. That was such a beautiful thing to say… THANK YOU seems woefully inadequate. xxoo
Hahaha I love that photo! It is seriously one of the best I’ve seen here, and it’s befitting such a post. Keep on snapping, and don’t let things get you down…. unless you’re intentionally doing it because you need to take some sad photos.
Thanks Drew, but I think I am going to take a little break from “sad” for awhile. I think I’ve earned it
Only one thing to say, “YAY”
Amen to that!!!!
It’s funny I read a comment today that said “God answers our prayers on His schedule, not ours’ (Another thought of someone else) God answers all of our prayers,though sometimes His answer is simply, NO.. Glad to hear of your good news.
I remember hearing that second quote many many years ago on MASH (where I got all my true wisdom from)… and that quote always stuck with me. Fortunately this time the answer wasn’t a “no”. Thanks so much xxoo
II have lost hope many times…but prayers help…..for example today I’,m extremely happy!
I am SO happy that you are happy… we all lost hope from time to time… just so long as we get it back again xxoo
Impressive!!!
Thank you
Tracie….I’m so glad to come home from 3 weeks away and find a wonderful post like this! It made MY day too!
The joy in your “voice” is flowing right through your words! It’s wonderful to hear! Congratulations! Keep smiling~it’s catchy……you put a smile on my face too!
I’m so glad… thanks so much xxoo
As they say God will give you what you need when you need it. Not when you want it. Happy that things worked out for you.
Thank you… very much appreciated xo
