I love your philosophy, Lexx.
http://www.theresonanceproject.org/graphics.html It just seems so wrong that you or anyone else should have to suffer. Why does suffering appear to be something we cannot control or escape, but only flow with? The universe feels like such a scary place when I think of it, at times. Like we are vulnerable to the partly random ebb and flow of it. The other part might not be random- it might be the sum of our consensus co-creation...yet it allows bullies and predators to exploit the weak and innocent.  IP: Logged |

You have to be "thick-skinned" to survive in this world. If you are too sensitive, you get trampled on. I saw something on the news about the stupid government clamping down on the choice for children to be home schooled. It seems like they want to ensure those who are better off being home schooled stay in trapped and miserable circumstances at school that leaves them traumatized or disturbed in some way for the rest of their lives. This is not a world that nourishes the sensitive, it is a world where to survive you have to find a way to numb yourself to the horrors that exist here.Can the world ever be a gentle place, or is the cruelty, the violence, the suffering- a part of the balance? Balance or imbalance??? If only a genius like Nassim Haramein could somehow unravel the answers within an equation. IP: Logged |

Honestly, I don't know.People probably get tired of hearing me talk about when Kevin was in the hospital, though, honestly, if it hadn't been for my children, I might have just killed myself. It was singly the most stressful, horrifying, awful, terrible, crappy thing that has ever happened to me. More than surviving child abuse growing up, more than the depression I've battled my whole life. However...that being said. I now appreciate every single stinking thing that I can  cause I know, that with a blink of an eye, it can all go south on you and turn 180 degrees on a dime! I think it cured me of my depression too. Seriously. I think to myself, oh this, little gnat is buzzing my ear, well I can be bothered by it, and let it ruin my day, or I can just feel blessed that I can breath, eat, walk, skip, think, see, there aren't bombs dropping outside/on my house, I can take a bath on my own without assistance, or a shower if I want. I can do lots of things. I can read a good book, go for a walk (without assistive devices) I can watch a movie that makes me laugh or cry, I can listen to music that moves me to bliss or tears. I can breathe without difficulty. I can pick flowers. I can appreciate the other living creatures. I can spend time with people who love and appreciate me. I can hang out with my children. I could go on and on here. I have a sneaking suspicion that this experience turned me into Pollyanna... Hugs to each of you whom are having difficult times. You're not alone!
Love,

I too will listen to ANY person here
I apologize beforehand that I am not always able to devote as much time to those who need to talk. I have to take care of me first being disabled, and my husband with his seizures.
I try to do my best though.
So email me, I can at the very least listen. ------------------

I found mine...finally. After so many years of heartache, longing and yearning pangs inside that made me feel there was someone out there I had to find, but that I didn't know if it was just imagination or not or if/ when I would find him...so painful. A dream triggered it, at the age of 9, in which I saw a boy who I gave a certain name. Now, at 30 years old I feel I have found the one I have been searching for- who just happens to be called by that very name. I don't know if it is coincidence or what, but I do know the love and understanding we share is very deep. I feel he understands me better than anyone in the whole world. He is my best friend. We just wait to be together physically, and get married....as soon as circumstances will allow it.I am very grateful to have him in my life. I just get scared not knowing how long the wait will be exactly (related to finances). I want to relax, to believe that there is justice in the world and I have nothing to fear, but it leaves me confused and perplexed sometimes- the world that is. IP: Logged |

It will be 2 yrs clean in Oct. An excellent most joy and bliss filled years at that! Yes he's walking again, even though they told him he'd probably never walk again. He's walking without any assistive devices, and recently started driving again. He will have his year anniversary of being employed at the USDA in Sept. Seriously, I never used this word much before, he's a miracle. He shouldn't even be alive, let alone, the way he is now. So I guess my point is, for me, that what the bleep do I have to complain about? Man life is so good, truly it is, even when it's hard. The odds of us getting conceived are so astronomical, let alone making it to birth...astound me. Now having gone through what I did, I just am so grateful for each moment, cause you really never know what's going to happen to you, or when it will be done, or gone. Ok enough philosophy from my armchair... Have a beautiful day people! IP: Logged |

Someone emailed this to me and it touched me deeply. I can relate to some of these.Hugs to my LL fam..
TO REALIZE...
To realize
The value of a sister/brother
Ask someone
Who doesn't have one. To realize
The value of ten years:
Ask a newly
Divorced couple. To realize
The value of four years:
Ask a graduate. To realize
The value of one year:
Ask a student who
Has failed a final exam. To realize
The value of nine months:
Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn. To realize
The value of one month:
Ask a mother
Who has given birth to
A premature baby. To realize
The value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize
The value of one minute:
Ask a person
Who has missed the train, bus or plane. To realize
The value of one second:
Ask a person
Who has survived an accident. Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when
You can share it with someone special. To realize the value of a friend or family member: LOSE ONE. The origin of this letter is unknown,
But it brings good luck to everyone who passes it on. Remember.... Hold on tight to the ones you love! IP: Logged |

LTT,The fact that you have not only found each other, but *decided* and *committed* to be together for life, (although separated geographically) (which is temporary only), would be enough to keep me going. Just be happy and envision you both being together soon  and it will happen. I am really happy for you. True Love is all that matters. IP: Logged |

WinkAway,  that was so awesome!!! All people need to read that over and over every day!!! I totally feel the exact same way ~ I have lost many loved ones, pets, had many heartaches......I am soooooooo grateful for everything I have.....I've had terrible car accidents, illness, injury, you name it......... With age comes wisdom........and learning.....we learn from our mistakes and we learn from so called "accidents"....we learn from each other....friends, family....we learn *from each little second or minute* which could change our life in a heartbeat......and then we remember to be grateful again, instead of complain. BE GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING AND EACH PERSON YOU HAVE IN YOUR LIFE Nothing is certain in life, nothing is guaranteed, your life can change with every breath you take, no one ever said, "here is your life, it will be 100% purely fantastic all the time"......life is a school, life is learning, and with every lesson, be grateful.
