Guest guest Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Hi Ginny, It feels good to be reminded that we all have this capacity to grow stronger as you said so clearly. ANd that the positive with the negative is taken in stride. It comes with the territory. Thank you for your never-ending support I hope I can be supportive to you too.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Hi Lyn Ginny's right about remembering to stay positive as what " doesnt kill us does make us stronger " like she said. It is hard sometimes to find that positive moment when all you feel is the negative emotions, but eventually you do find the strength to go on. I speak from recent experience Lyn...today has been a rough day for me but Im feeling a bit better this evening. I woke up really down and felt like the world was against me, I had chores to do that seemed overwelming to me, people were crazy at the grocery store, my head was pounding and all I wanted to do was go to sleep. I broke down in tears a few times for no reason other than shear frustration at not being able to do what I SHOULD be able to and realizing that I cant. Tonight Im feeling better, the errands are done, my headache is gone and Im focusing on the trip to see Barbara and Tricia tomorrow which I've been looking forward to all week. Anyway, I've gone on long enough about all this depressing stuff and I hope that others who may have had a bad day are feeling better tonight. Love to you all Donna > > Hi Ginny, It feels good to be reminded that we all have this > capacity to grow stronger as you said so clearly.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Donna, You are so right. Thank you for sharing your thoughts today. For some reason there is good that comes from sharing the hard times. It most be because we are lifting each other up by doing that, by showing that it won't be that way forever and that there is something that we can do to help ourselves get through it. So every time someone comes out of the darkness and depths of a depressed state it is an affirmation of the resilence of the human spirit. We can't be kept down. It is inherent in us to find a way to rise above the heaviness of our existence until our last breath. That is what I see being given to each other here. 15 years ago my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer (6 months to live). You can imagine the emotions running through our family. I was lucky enough to have a counselor who helped me reconcile my place in it. He very softly asked me if I could find the good in it. I wanted to scream at him for his absurd question. Slowly he began to explain to me that at no other time in life is there such an opportunity to lower all the defensive walls that keep us from fully knowing each other and for becoming vulnerable to each other. That is what I see here. There is a complete willingness to open up ourselves for the invisible magic of love growing and spreading among us. I don't know if I am making sense, I hope so. I know what I mean I just don't know that I said it very well.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 > Lyn, you made perfect sense. We learn after dealing with something like this that when we are talking to others who face similiar issues it is likely we will let our defenses down, allow our real feeling to emerge and give to others what we have been given. In no other setting have I found the ability to speak my true feelings, vent and cry and know that someone truly understands. Through this group I have met wonderful people and had the opportunity to show them my hometown and learn more about them. More importantly I've been given the gift of a wonderful friendship with Ginny. To any of you who have met her, spoke with her or chatted with her you know what a warm and wonderful spirit she is and how fortunate people are who have been touched by her. I am thankful every day to know her and want to say thank you while the opportunity is presenting itself To everyone else I've had the good fortune of meeting, you all are wonderful people, so much love and friendship can be found among this group and I wish everyone less painful moments and brighter days. We all deserve them and we all WILL find them! Blessings my dear friends..Love to you all!! Donna > I don't know if I am making sense, I hope so.
