Hello
 

Dear Larsy,
Hello.
It is good to hear from you.

I love the words she had you put up.

I can see a couple of those that are true.

I know that I was ill for a reason, and I am getting better for a reason.

Next I know that when the bridge in Minnesota collapsed, I remember reading
that many people had been cursing the traffic. They were stuck in.

Until they realized if not for the traffic they would be in the water too, they
would have been traveling across the bridge. So they praised the traffic
instead.

I love it that your back.

Donna, this is wonderful. :)

I try to believe that I am always in exactly the right spot that I am supposed to be in.

It is wonderful to see you back, and with such touching messages. I am touched by your journey, and how far you've come...

Welcome back
here, and,
to your own heart.

I am on a journey too. We all are i guess. I feel i still have such a long way to go, even if i have come a long way.

You sound like a blossoming lotus flower... so beautiful... where you had been frozen in a deep painful dungeon.

I am glad you found your therapist to help you keep on the good road of your journey... but you are the one doing the walking, you are the one blossoming.

It so is good to see you emerging. And thank you for sharing - you bring hope.

You have brought me hope because i am at a difficult time in my life right now.

:hug:

I remember when Bizi used to post here, gosh how I miss her, she always told me I was worth it, I was worth the fight. I ran away for a while to fight, to heal, to rejuvenate. I have a good team on my side and they've helped me through so many nights when I felt like it was just not worth going on.

I have a long way to go to Waves, I will stumble, I will fall but right now I'm enjoying life again. I hope in some way I can help you see your way through this :hug:

I had such a good time in the Big Apple. Jersey Boys was the best show I've ever seen and I've seen a lot. Well maybe not better than Phantom of the Opera. It brought back a lot of memories when I was just a kid and my mom playing these songs, life was so uncomplicated then. It did a number on my knee though all that walking. It blew up like a balloon so I've been trying to stay off it as much as possible.

Dear BJ,

That's great that you enjoyed the performance.

No one can replace Bizi, but I can tell you that you are wroth it. And you are certainly worth fighting for.
It sounds like you are finding what works for you.
M.

Mari is so right, no one can replace Bizi.

But you are definately worth it. And need to continue fighting.

And I just like many others have really enjoyed your words here.

Thanks for coming back.

Hi BJ,

I've been away from NT for awhile but I was reading tonight and I found this post. I was very interested in reading about your life changing revelation and I'm glad you are doing so well.

I have a quote by Thich Nhat Hanh that I keep on my computer so I thought I would share it here.

Be yourself.
Life is precious as it is.
All the elements for your
happiness are already here.
There is no need to run,
strive, search or struggle.
Just be.

~Thich Nhat Hanh

Dear Scrabble,
 

Hi, Scrabble,

I am a fan of Thich Nhat Hanh too!
I have one of his books near me somewhere -- I have not read it start to finish but I pick it up and open to wherever it opens and read a few pages whenever I think about it.

One of my favorite quotes, that I have postied to my computer monitor at work is:

Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.

One of the things I'm working on with my tdoc is letting go of the past. She said I'm mentally and emotionally bonded to my past and I have to let go. It's like being in an emotional prison. Holding on, refusing to let go, unable to forgive. And if I don't let go, this behavior will steal my future. That's why I'm working so hard on letting go. It's gone, they're gone and I can't do a thing now to make things different. I only have my memories, my dreams.
