Oh, Ladies [Kate and Chey] do we ever have work to do!

You know, when I first came to this site, I thought: Great, another

one of those where people toss cleche's back and forth, and no real

meat and potatoes help! BUT! I'm beginning to feel we might be able

to support each other through some real progress!

A couple observations. Often physical ailments or conditions arrive

to ALLOW us to do things--like stay home from work, or NOT do some

thing we don't want to do. My example is that of not wanting to

HAVE TO get " out " and go to work, to a job [nursing]I grew to hate;

but I had to have an income... The Universe's solution? COPD! Once I

developed emphasema it progressed to where it was too difficult for

me to walk, or rush in some instances, down the long halls--I was so

much worse off than the patient by the time I got there. So, after

worrying about where to turn, it " came to me " to check with S.S. And

the rest is " history " --the point being I wanted out and my physical

condition arrived to provide it. So it can be informative to ask

>self what one's ailments >permit...

Next: having spent a five year, continuous, spell of depression, and

doing the meds, and the therapy, and some [what a JOKE!] " group " , I

finally had to " cure myself " --for THAT time--through realizing that

most depression stems from KNOWING what one NEEDS to do [like leave

an abusive husband] but either not wanting to have to do it, or being

afraid to do it. The thing is that the SELF knows what needs to be

done to bring peace of mind; and we can either do it or not. Period.

But SELF doesn't have much tolerance for bull, and kicks up a fuss!

And here we find ourselves! Now, we can either play " Yes, but! " , or

get OFF our butts! And I am looking to you guys as persons who have

applied this technique--with successes--who will be going to smack me

into shape. Maybe we need to take turns, LOL!

Um, did I mention that I am a straightforward person? Guilty! Hand

patting isn't going to get us where we want to go... What do you say

we make a decision to embark on a plan to each clear out a bunch of

this garbage; and we'll hold each other ACCOUNTABLE for steps toward

that end? Any takers?

I WANT MY FREEDOM! I want to go shopping! I do not have any problem

in stores--once I get OUT OF THIS HOUSE!!! I haven't even checked my

mailbox in a week--no, week and a half--and I have a book in there

that I ordered through Amazon! Plus info from a dentist that will do

the work while I SLEEP! And I NEED the work done--but just TRY to get

me to a dentist, HA! Lets get going on this!

Here's a plan: why don't we each select maybe three things to tap out

of existance; and by a certain time. Then report in on our progress?

And, if there isn't any, then this support team goes into gear? ???

And if anyone else in the group is feeling this need for some more

active work with the tapping, then come on in and we'll get going!

Won't it be GLORIOUS to get out there to enjoy the springtime?! It is

suppose to be in the 60's tomorrow [DE] and I'd LOVE to at least sit

on the steps a while...

Okay, I'll shut up. Am hoping someone will be joining me in this...

My best hugs all around,

E.
