@brightwings ...Yep, crap on a plate, lol! , That's exactly what the day brings. I go to bed and hope I won't be dished up the same old crap tomorrow. But, half the time it's my attitude. Then I have to adjust. Thanks brightwings. You are a ray of sunshine, bit so real, too. I don't like saccharine. Life ain't that sweet. It's tough, but with consolations along the way. I prefer sundhine over gloom, but gloom happens. Gotta make peace with it. Don't have to like it, though. Sounds like you make your own sunshine! Good for you, and thanks for sharing it! Am glad you have family to love and be proud of. Really. Hope you get to see them, though I'm sure you communicate plenty. Blessings. JMJ

Oh, I have been thru my share of crap, both mine and others. It is all about our feelings. But to honor them, you first have to recognize them.
When I started seeing my 4th therapist, she would ask me how I was feeling. Often I had no clue. Truth...
So she would pick up this piece of paper I learned to HATE.
IT was full of little faces showing different feelings. How did I ever go thru all those years of therapy and no one realized I didn't know how to feel anything but sad or happy.
Well, with great resistance, I learned to feel inside myself what the face of the little kid felt. It was horrible!!!! To be in my 50s and realize all this was so stunning.
What a great little actress I became as a kid. Keep everyone happy. This was my job.
I just didn't know how to handle relearning how to feel. It sucked big time.
One foot in front of the other, blah, blah, blah.
But long story short, by sticking with it, I did learn how to be happy or sad and even angry. I honored myself for whatever I was feeling.
Good for you all. Keep on keeping on, cuz no matter how bad things are today, it will be different tomorrow. That's something you can count on..
Attitude is everything......Bright Wings
