You have an amazing support group here with your BITS and SITS.
You guys and gals are going to be the wise ones people turn too and it is great to see.
I want to leave you with something, something you should do for yourself, and your BITS and SITS I hope will follow suit.
Find an inspiration.
I don't mean an artsy one, or something to inspire you toward enlightenment or the divine.
I mean insipration when you are broken, spitting blood, teeeth clentched, and you are inspired to ask, "Is that ALL you got?"
Something that makes you feel 500 foot tall and invulnerable.
I'll leave you with a few of mine, and a suggestion to follow.
Quote:
Invictus
Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.
William Ernest Henley
And two songs:
With todays modern tech, you can and I hope you will check them out.
All American Rejects - Move Along
Mudvayne - Not Falling
Get rid of the "I miss you" songs. The inspiration song you choose, should be about you, not about her. Your decision to spit out teeth and come up swinging.
The suggestion. Find that song, listen to it on the ride over...not to light you up, not to get your back up...but to get to 500 foot tall.
