Things are good. It's so much easier to live my own life instead of being caught in the web of the past. One thing I've found is that I can joke about the past. And realize how deeply devastated I was, how emotionally wounded.. how much palpable pain I had. It's wonderful to feel so much better and know I've been doing the work to be healthy..."
Then I'm happy for ya' Gypsy. Some of us are still caught in the web of a painful past. You doin' well now lets us know that there is a time in the future for us that we won't hurt anymore. I'm glad you feel as good as you do. I can certainly relate to your description of devastation and pain. "Doing the work", I've found, is important. The passage of time alone won't do it...one has to take 'positive actions' during that passage of time in order to get better. I'm committed to doing just that, but I still hurt.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
