Today I went here.  It was another first. This is one of my most favorite places to visit in the whole world.  I love being here with my family and I loved being there with my special someone. Today I visited  with my family, but without my special someone. (The very first time ever without this someone). I am grateful to be taking steps even if they are baby steps, but boy some of these baby steps are very painful. Almost like walking on hot lava. It was easier than I thought in some areas and harder than I thought in other areas.  I guess time eventually heals, so I hear. I am praying for some time and some healing.  I am grateful I was with my family and I am very thankful for their support. This place truly is amazing and very peaceful. I was able to shed a few tears in silence and ask my Heavenly Father for a little additional help at this time. When I am here I feel like I am close to him. It's so high in the mountains, so close to heaven, so beautiful and so peaceful. I feel like I can talk to my Heavenly Father as if he is sitting next to me in the trees.  It reminds me almost as if I am in the sacred grove because of the peace and beautiful surroundings.  When I am here I can't help but think that Heavenly Father created this beautiful and lovely place. I am grateful for this place in my life. I look forward to this summer, so I can go there often and hopefully feel peace and serenity with the beautiful surroundings my Heavenly Father created for me. Hopefully with time and such a peaceful place I will begin to heal.
