Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Sometimes it is necessary to actually talk out loud to yourself .. tell yourself .. I feel like crap today and I dont feel like thinking positive! Just the fact that you have " given yourself permission " to feel like crap and NOT feel guilty about it is a step in a positive direction. How many times have you heard the expression .. If you aren't supposed to do it, you want to do it more! ?? By giving yourself permission to feel like crap .. to vent your frustrations .. to tell people to buzz off because you dont feel good .. is the beginning to healing! By giving yourself permission to express your frustrations .. you have taken awake that little vice all of us possess .. the need to do just the opposite of what the " rules " tells us we need to do. What it does is make you realize that .. yes .. I am sick .. yes .. I feel sick .. and yes .. it is ok to whine about it. It is when the whining and venting becomes a focused, every minute of the day occupation that you fall into the category of severe depression. Just remember .. just because you cant do something today .. and have to say NO everytime you are asked to do something because you are too sick, not feeling well, or are just too weak to fulfill the task .. doesnt mean you wont be able to do it tomorrow .. or next week. Live for the moment .. just because you have to say no today .. doesnt mean you cant say YES tomorrow! hugs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Hi Sonnny! It's Bee here. Been very busy lately, so I've just read this e-mail. I can't wait to read the poem either. In fact, I'll be doing just that Saturday March 6th. in front of poets from around the world, at the Spring Poetry Convention. At the Walt Disney Resort. Pretty nervous about getting up and talking to so many people not to mention well known poets. like Wagoner , W.D. Snodgrass, Herbert Woodward and Fleda Brown Just to name a few. I hope I won't become stage fright. Oh! not to forget to mention that I'll even get introduced to everyone by: Mr. Bob Eubanks, My favorite GameShow Host. I truly am glad I kept that promise too. TODAY MY GRANDSON TOOK HIS FIRST THREE STEPS. CALEB WILL BE TURNING ONE ON FEBRUARY 25th. BEE IS READY TO BUZZ AWAY. BY! BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz Re: Re: Need to whine & vent..
