Trying to stay positive w/o getting too hopeful

[cat04]

Not trying to hijack but in church the other night, the substitute minister told us her story.

One day, she decided to quit. Quit her job, her relationship, her life. She went into the forest to have one last talk with God.

God came to her and said, do you see that fern and that bamboo? Well I planted them here. After one year, the fern grew from a seed into that beautiful fern. The bamboo--nothing. But I did not quit. The second year--nothing. But I did not quit watering the area and caring for the bamboo. The third year-nothing. The fourth-nothing, but I did not quit. On the fifth year, the bamboo sprouted into a tiny insignifigant shoot compared to the flourishing fern. But I did not quit and that bamboo has grown to what it is today. It spent years growing under the ground, developing a firm root system. I did not quit on it and I will not quit on you. The story gave her inspiration to continue on with her life, which is now very full and happy.

Almost, you are right most of us are tired but then something like that comes along and reminds us why we are still here. Kelly, only you can decide what is best for you, and when the time is right, you will know what to do.
