This video says it all!!
 

I happened upon this video. I viewed it. I just sat there and said "wow".

My husband wants to know if he should send this video to our son. I was tempted to say "why?, he doesn't care about anything". But upon reflecting, I will tell him to "go for it".

This video is not about being jewish, yom kippur, etc, but it does have a VERY POWERFUL MESSAGE.

When you all get a chance, please view this video and let me know what you think. And for anyone suffering from depression, well it just might uplift you for a short while, and then WHO KNOWS!!!

Here is the link.

I loved this Melody...I have a magnet on my fridge that says "Fall down seven times, get up eight."

My niece Pam, who passed away from MS, made it for me and I treasure it.

Thank you for sharing that. Not sure about sharing it with your son...

perfume on the desert air??? :hug:

Wow, I am so moved, I can't begin to tell you. I walked away from watching the Biggest Loser because it was so revolting to watch people getting sick on their treadmills, etc, so I came on the computer and found the link to this thread. I sat back and watched and my whole body relaxed.

Very inspiring. I shall indeed continue to strive...as we all should!!

Thanks very much for posting this.

The Desiderata - well, that sure brought back memories... I had that posted on the wall in my very first apartment in my early 20's... and I read those words over and over... to this day they mean so much!

thanks David!

That's what i love so much about this place - we have some great things to share! :grouphug:

Thank you David...that brought me to tears this morning and as I was reminded over and over again last night by Dr. Wolfelt...tears are a good thing. :grouphug:

I'm almost ashamed of myself for missing so many wonderful posts with great messages so forgive me for bumping. I think we all need to take stock once in awhile.

Melody, I really loved that video. What an excellent message. And such a hard thing to learn how to do. Time and patience with one's self I guess. :hug:

And thanks to you too David. :hug:

Want to hear something interesting? I am a completely different person than I was in my youth. I really am. When we are young, we think we know it all, we should have it all, we are entitled to it all, well we really don't get it. UNTIL WE GET OLDER.

My whole outlook changed as I got older.

I appreciate things so much more. I treasure every little thing I do.

I just appreciate life.

To me, it's beautiful. I realize this is just me.

But it's ME!!!

lol
Melody

And I'm a completely different person than I was just last year, LOL!

I think that must be why this term was coined...older and wiser.

If we're lucky enough to take that 'wiser' path...sometimes just one small conversation or one small act can change the course of your life. Growing is definitely a constant learning process.

I still have issues that suck me down, but I do manage a thank you to most everything I receive. Even small stuff like...when I find something I've been frustratingly looking for turns up...I say thank you out loud. I've even thanked my refrigerator on occasion for having what I wanted.

Not sure who hears it, but I say it just the same. :D

Learning to forgive myself is an ongoing process.

:hug: now that's the Doody I know and love!!
