Thanks guys! I really do appreciate all those that have dropped by. I know it's not a place that any of us ever wanted to be but what is is. One of the most difficult things I find these days is those periodic times when I suddenly feel very anxious, weak and vulnerable. I might be having a really great week and then suddenly some little thing will set me off in an obsessive rampage. I have to keep in mind that I have been virtually living in a combat zone for the past five to seven years. Every day was a struggle to just keep going and make the best of a terrible situation and this is the fallout. My shrink said ages ago "Whatis you are living in a pressure cooker and most of the time don't realize it because you handle it so well" I have to remember to be kind to myself, allow some weakness and remember "this too shall pass". I remember a friend of mine (well, she was a friend at the time) said to me "Whatis, just remember that no matter how bad it gets, it will always get better" Wise words that have been echoed here in Surviving! Can we grill some fish? Salmon maybe.
