Rockbottom is seldom what WE think it should be or will be.

Having expectations on time and what they should do crap like that...is a great way to eat away at the foundation you are building your 'stand' upon.

So true Jack ... I read a story on here somewhere about a holocaust survivor telling his story. When asked who didn't make it out, he replied "the optimists" ... they were the ones who thought "we'll be out of here by Easter" and when they weren't, a little hope died. Then they thought "we'll be out of here by Summer" and when they weren't , more hope died. Then they thought "we'll be out of here by Christmas" and when they weren't even more hope died. Man cannot live without hope and eventually they gave up and perished. This particular survivor said he made it because he didn't attach conditions or timelines to the outcome, he just maintained a deep belief that he would survive. (OK ... massive paraphrasing, but you get the idea) I am going to work really hard at maintaining this attitude ... at first I was focussing on WHEN we were going to make it ... now I'm just going to focus on me and believe I, and we, will survive this.

Thanks to all ... chat tomorrow ... I'm going dancing!

Peace
