DU


One thing that sometime (and I really mean sometimes) helps me is to say to myself that it is in these difficult times that we find our true self. That may be strength, that may be hope - hell it may even be an acknowledgment of our "openess and vulnerability". In any case, it is the finding yourself that is key. Coming to a place where you accept that life changes and is what YOU make of it.

I soooo know what you mean..I too feel like everything is hitting at the same time. So what is one to do? Personally, we have two options - 1) surround ourselves with friends and family and do OUR BEST to get thru the hard times or 2) wallow in a muck of self pity and despair (I am not saying you are doing this). I vote for # 1.

DU as hard as everything seems like right now - you have to believe it will get better. The sun sets every day BUT it also RISES and with the rise comes a NEW DAY. A new chance to change how we feel and how we look at things.

So nothing is good for me at this point

There is always good - we just need to really search and find it sometimes. Take a few moments and just think about some of the positives in your life. There has to be a few - hell for me being able to post here is a positive.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to STAY in the POSITIVE - as much as you can.

Here is another positive for you from me....THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR your words to me on days that I really felt like crap...thanks for letting me vent...thanks for everything. YOU truly are a class act.

I am not going to get into your job sitch - sometime things happen for a reason. Know that YOU will be fine. This is all temporary...this will pass. I believe in YOU.

God Bless,
Eric
