Each place or situation has its own... set of circumstances bad and good. <br /><br />Even the places that are more bad than good have really taught me something. <br /><br />Of course it's hard to see that when you're in the middle of a place/time that just sucks. But concentrating on what doesn't suck, on each moment that doesn't suck, and hoping, praying, believing that in the end these situations make me a stronger, more interesting person is part of what got me through what were actually a tough few years. <br /><br />Literally I spent a few months here and there stopping and saying things like "ok, right now I'm walking to work, it's kinda nice outside. This doesn't suck. Right now is pretty good." It helped. Really.<br /><br />And! (me and the dissertations right now!) Seriously, give yourself permission to not 'buck up' to be depressed and angry about it. Those jerks didn't know your (well, Mr. F's) worth! They ruined your plans! Darn them! <br /><br />Grief and anger are *reasonable*. You're entitled.<br /><br />ok.. enough with the disertation today.<br /><br />(((Hugs)))Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07102682471632003035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-32557811645256251322009-10-29T19:50:04.828-04:002009-10-29T19:50:04.828-04:00Or you realize that the whirlpool is beautiful in ...Or you realize that the whirlpool is beautiful in its own way.

Whatever....
Sometime...They say life is a journey!<br />Whatever.... <br />Sometimes it's nice for the ride to be on our terms.<br /><br />Mrs. F, I so feel your pain and wish I could give you a big HUG! <br />The best advice I received was "Let go of the Rope." It took me awhile to realize exactly what that meant. When I actually did let go, I could finally breathe again. <br />I know right now your "rope" feels like it's hanging you, but let it loosen a bit. Continue to look for that peace, but have faith that it's within reach.<br />I know this probably doesn't help, but we all love you guys and I know you have many positive prayers and thoughts directed your way.<br />Keep your chin up!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615712991395508066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-32759080702791316672009-10-29T12:33:26.398-04:002009-10-29T12:33:26.398-04:00I'm so sorry, Mrs. F.

I had a friend that would always remind me that these experiences were all building "character" in me - many times I wanted to strangle her when she would say those words to me - but I know she was right - and it didn't just build "character" in me but in my children too as they weathered our storms.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00990762101774224558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-82662803413641864852009-10-29T11:28:44.501-04:002009-10-29T11:28:44.501-04:00You guys are always in my thoughts, I really hope ...You guys are always in my thoughts, I really hope that you know your not alone in alot of things.
