I wonder why I never get the chance to buy girl scout cookies...hope they still make those choc mint ones....yum!

I wonder how to make my screen darker...used to know that...

I wonder which movie Mr.Alffe and I will see today...so many good ones out there for a change..it's between War Horse and So Near...something..the one with Tom Hanks about 911...both are tear jerkers I am told..

I wonder about depression..it is an illness and it takes great courage to live with it on a daily basis...I remember Pter talking about the lure of suicide and what a lie it is...

Pters words...As to the thoughts, I will be the first to say they are exhausting and, as I have said previously, they tire us to a point where we honestly believe suicide is the only solution. It is not. BEFRIEND and TALK. These thoughts are a part of you, for better or worse. I believe strongly in a physiological connection with suicidal thoughts. Our fear of the thought stimulates a negative physiological reaction which appears to give the negative thoughts enhanced power over us. Step back for a moment and place yourself in an imaginary situation. You see a child running into a busy roadway...you run quickly to save this child from oncoming cars...feel the reaction rising in your body. The adrenaline pounding throughout your body and brain. Now the rescue is over, your alone, feel the exhaustion of your body and mind.

You are rescuing yourself daily, hourly, every few minutes. Each thought envokes a physiological reaction with the end result being exhaustion. Befriend this thought. Treat it as you would the child who ran into the pathway of cars. Hold it, talk to it, teach it that there is another way to walk the roads of life. Post it here and allow others to comfort it. Do not be ashamed of it. What is it really but a thought that wants attention. Understand now, I did not say a PERSON who wants attention but a THOUGHT that wants attention from that person. It is the fight against the thought that tires us and makes us vulnerable to enactment of the thought.

I cannot give you a reason to live. I can, however, take away your reason for dying. An untrained unaccepted thought is not justification for death.


I wonder if todays promised rain and 40 degrees will finally see the end of this snow ....until we get more of course.

I wonder if I can leave everyone a hug...
