Thanks that was very uplifting! Iv had a very bad day today! The pain has been very unbearable! If tears could heal me ,is be prefect again! I even thought of the perfect pain free soulation, and that would to blow my head off, as bad as thgere sounds! But I got in my car and drove to the lake and prayed, and God said, NO! So I came back home to my husband of 30 yrs and my 9yr old grandson! They give me the strength to go another day! So think about yr loved ones, (even though they don't get the pain yr in, and pray,pray,pray,and keep the faith! Maybe tomorrow I'll feel better!,pray for me!

One more day under your belt! Keep up the good work with positivity and take each day as it comes. You certainly are not alone.

@resawaller I won't labor you with the long story of my life, except to say that I've been there and most days I'm glad that I'm still around. The two primary things that have kept me going are my faith in God who will never abandon me, and my wife and two children and three granddaughters. Other things help, but nothing sustains me to the extent that God and my family do. I'm glad you are blessed with those same resources.

My practice has been to set a goal and tell myself that I want to stay alive until then. Sometimes it's been a day, sometimes a month. If I can't think of any goal, I'll tell myself that I will stay alive one more day. By now, setting those goals isn't always necessary, but some days I still need to do it.

Keep your mind focused on those who are important to you, including yourself.

Jim
