It actually stands for "still standing" which is my theme song (I'm Still Standin' by Elton John). Extraordinary Machine by Fiona Apple is another theme song of mine.
It's funny, having gone through all that crap as a child doesn't really prepare me any more for going through it all now.
I lovingly accept and strongly reciprocate all of the hugs and desire for the in-person real thing.
I think a DB/DR convention would be a whole lot of fun. Or at least some kind of reunion meet up. There'd be a whole lot of validating going on, just as you say Shakspr, but the activities list would be awesome because we're all GAL pros!!!
Your support means everything to me Claire, maybell, Lisa, Pilot, Shining, Shakspr, Old Dogg, labug, and everyone else who hears the cry of a fellow DB and comes running with hugs.
I desperately need them today.
I forced myself to plant some plants (not something I get a lot of joy out of but I love the end result) and I do feel better.
I made plans to go to a hot vinyasa yoga class tonight with GREAT music (imagine doing yoga to September by Earth Wind and Fire!) so that will definitely lift me up a bit. I wore a heart rate monitor in that class last week and I burned 640 calories in one class.
Off to chug a protein shake that I'll burn off in the first 20 minutes of that class. YAY!
I know all this pain and struggle is creating something beautiful but it sure hurts to get there. Makes me wonder if plants hurt while they flower or if a caterpillar hurts while in its chrysalis.
