Relax it could be worse you could be in a tiny elevator with a hungry alligator.  Or you could be in Iraq.  Or you could be me. Sound advice:  Eat a live toad in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you for the rest of the day.

lol!  I try to start each morning thinking "something! anything!" good will happen.  Sometimes it does but even when it doesn’t I still try to find some light in whatever did end up happening. About eating a toad each morning…..if you only knew my life. <ONE huMUNgo GRIN>  Advice: aint nuttin better then frogs…. but don’t try eating one alive….let alone each morning. Wish you lived close by…..I  have a few butts I’d like to kick and I’m not one to usually turn down help…..but then again….I aint into violence either….just like to talk big now and then. Have a good weekend, Katz. Donna

ROFLMAO! I am so glad that I had no coffee in my mouth when I read this! How about a trigger warning for those of us who drink coffee (or anything else) when you post as above?  My keyboard is already dirty … I could have electrocuted myself. Smile and there will be something to smile about! Nancy

I’ve so been there!  It’s truly amazing the strength we all have inside us but when one is going thru it all….it’s so easy to forget that.  One lesson I’ve truly learned on this trip was that I will always be ok at the end of the ptsd trip…..the ride can be ruffer then hell….but there’s always peace.  It’s why I made some of the no-hurt laws…..cuz the pain will end and so why have scars on the outside for all to see?  I have enough scars on the inside. So glad to learn that you are doing better. Donna – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Thanks, am doing a little better now. At least I don’t feel as > stressed.

Thanks, its kind of good to be talking with someone who’s been through this. Sometimes its hard to understand why I have to go through these things. But I suppose its all apart of the healing. And, my helpers are back again, which I was really happy about. They kind of helped me get through the day yesterday.

Thanks, am doing a little better now. At least I don’t feel as stressed. I just didn’t think I could make it through yesterday for some reason, but I did.

Response:

Hi everyone, I guess I could use some comforting words, have had some difficulty the past couple of days, dealing with things at work, and here in my apt. I don’t know that I should share any details, I just could use a smiling face and a welcome. Thanks, David

Response:

Thanks for reaching out, David, and letting us know how you’re doing.  Some days sure can be harder then others and for me it’s times like that when I forget to reach out for friends.
