in the beginning of this journey, i truly felt that i was drowning. i couldn't see where the break in the tides were. but today, i can honestly say that i can find happiness in the things i am blessed with. one of the biggest blessings has been the bonds i have formed here. standing side by side with others as the waves continued to crash over us. and you know what? we're still here!
Hey Barely! Thanks for this, you are exactly right. It looks like we found our heads underwater at about the same time. When it all started I couldn't envision feeling the way I do now. Obviously still sad and hopeful but life goes on. If not for this community and the kind words and advice from folks on here like you, without a doubt I would have lost it. This is a place of major solace for me during the storm, and I'm in the boat right beside you and can even see the sun! :-)
Your words really rang true with me true today, I appreciate your writing them. Keep finding happiness in everything you do and have a great weekend!
