Any Old Timers Remember Me?

[Lord Grenville]

Can anyone give me quick how 2 on the quotes? I've never tried them on the "new" board (evidently)

Hi GenuineG,

I'm not sure what the difference is between the QUOTE and QUICK QUOTE buttons, but if you are logged in and you click on one of those two, you can then decide what part of the quote to retain between the quote brackets that you will see in the reply window.

Type your reply after the last /quote bracket so it does not end up in the quote box.

If you want to have several quotes excerpted in your reply, then you will need to "copy" and "paste" the [ quote] and [ /quote] at the beginning and end of the excerpt.

Welcome back to the DB boards. I can relate to the cycle of negativity that can occur because I was really having a tough time of it one year ago. I was unsucessfully looking for work for about 7 months after my job at an architecture firm ended; I was not sure if I should move, or where I would even go if I left the area, etc.

Two things really helped me. The first was strengthening my belief, through daily prayers that God and spirit guardians were guiding me, and learning that I could let go of the fear, and the idea that I had to figure it all out using my head.

One year later, I am amazed at how bountiful the universe can be. One 3-month temp assignment was a stepping stone to a second temp job which turned into a permanent full-time job with a salary much higher than I had even hoped to find!

I still believe that my W and I were meant to be life-partners for our full lives, but I had an epiphany a few months ago, which is that I am in a win/win situation - Either my W returns to me and we create an even better relationship (which is my primary wish) or I will eventually find a new life-partner who will value me for the person I am, and we will create a joyous future together.

The second thing that has helped immensely, is cognitive therapy where I have learned how to recognize the negative thoughts in my head when I think them, which then allows me to disarm them and not give them the power to affect my mood or physical body as much as they used to. The negative thoughts still come, but they don't have the effect that they did one year ago.

I wish you all the best in getting back in touch with your bright inner spirit and the dreams and joys that you have the ability to manifest.
