If heartache wrote the story, than surely, I've seen my share, but I'm an eternal optimist and still believe in prayer. It does not mean my faith is intact, only that I still believe that when my life is complete, God will have a better life for me.
I have no complaints in the life I've had thus far, as I am doing far better than many that I know. I never took the vow of charity and poverty that the Daughters of Charity took who raised me, but it seems this was the path laid before me unless I have sudden success, as I am an Irish girl I laugh beneath my breath for most likely my success will be posthumously if at all.
At least, I enjoy the process of writing and have enjoyed some journalistic notoriety. The biggest joy; however, remains in the fact that I have been able to reach a few people and teach them the skills they seek, some cannot read or do simple math, others lack confidence and I am able to listen. I may not don the Habit, but I do try to be charitable. My personal life strays from the Church, but I am happy.
