But I'm convinced there is more. There is a bigger picture and we get to find out what that is. That's exciting after the pain stops...or so I'm told. I'll let you know if I get there
You will get there Shining, almost all of us will. It just takes time. Some will take more time than others, but in the end it really is up to us how long it will take.
There is more, and there is a bigger picture. Actually, we are in that picture right now!
Matt, I want you to try something for me that I believe will help you. Every night before you go to bed, I want you to write down 3 things you are grateful or thankful for, or something beautiful you noticed that day. Try to come up with new things everyday. You can even post them here if you'd like.
I did this for a couple of months without fail back in my darkest days, and it really did help me feel better about myself and my life. The better I felt the more positive things seemed to come to me.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
