Once upon a time.. i stumbled onto Daily Strenght...
It was a fairly new sight...and it was very exciting ...
New friends...People that shared and understood ...
it was contageous...addictive...encourageing....
Days turned into weeks... weeks into months...
then as the years pass....
I'd find myself on DailyStrenght... in the wee hours of the mornin...
looking for someone to share my thoughts and hopes with...
for comfort and support...
I begain to notice I was spending more time online than I was...
actually trying to get my health in check...i found courage to hang..
strenght to keep trying...Hope for a better future... for myself....
My Friend list grew... We shared... Folks all around the world...
All around the United States...we shared our hopes...our Love for life...
we gave each other Support...and comfort...and GoodWill...
Now I spend more time offline....because of my Friends on DailyStrength
I've grown....I'm moving forward...
sometimes I fall....and I run to Dailystrength for comfort...and support..
Some times I feel like I'm loosing touch...
i know in my heart...I can never Lose the touch... that I Got here on
DailyStrength...
thanks you all ... for being my Friend... sharing your lifes...
your pains.. and your understandings.... best wishes and many blessing...

There's a reason...I'm not online as much...In some ways..
I've healed.. in others...I grown more aware that the only happiness..
that i can have is that which is here around me...
Friends on DS...online buddies... and even lately watchin my old class mates... on Facebook..
This computer is a great way to connect with other people..
specially if ya hearing impaired..home bound...find it difficult to deal ...
......
I'm confused and dazed about the world.. the suffering and pain...
the INJUSTICES.... i see...make me ASHAME... to be a part of the HUMAN race...
I've always been a supporter of Freedom.. specally of peoples Faith.. and how they worship Our Creator....
But screamin GOD is Great and unloadin a gun into a crowd of men and women.... Well that be the last straw for me....
.......
So to all the folks out there...I'm tired....I feel lost... because as Humans... we are destroyin ourselves and the Planet we live on....
i truly believe we should bring our forces home.. and rebuild America...
Let the rest of the World ... fix their own dam problems... and we should FIX our OWN....
....
I've got that America LOVE IT... or get the hell out attitude this MOANIN..... yepp...
I say we fix you problems... If these other countries want our help well
hey.. ya should of treated us with a little respect... Oh yeah..
Those companies that wanna be buildin chit over there... why don't ya just move over there.. Yeah pack up ya bowlin bags and get ....
Go live where ya make ya money... You don't Care about America...
All these big companies.. re wrote the Monopoly Laws.. Looky where it got
us.......
It's a Sad dang Day for Americans.....We are being exploited by our own dang GREED..
Well we guilty.. we put em in Office... those Educated... double talking ....
never say what they mean Officials in Office....
I feel Tired.. because this was the Greatest Country in the World....
Now it's a Mess....
The American Dream..... is a NightMare......
I can't get a loan from a bank cause I'm on SSI...
but I can get a credit card.... or a charge account at some catalog thingy.. that charges outrageous intrest... and extra high prices....
I aint even gonna say chit about HUMAN RESOURSES... I aint a minority...
so mostly all I get there is DENIAL...
....
This Country.... is being eroded away... by selfish .... greedy power hungry
person... we voted into Office.. lately all those elected officials care about
is fussin and fightin and denying each other the needs to get this country I Love so Much... up on it's feet again....
.....
I'm TIRED...and afraid.... I'm a disabled person.... and My country...makes me feel like a burden to Society.... even tho I've been taxed heavly to provide these programs fof Disable person...
I Feel like a Second Class Citizen....
I'm tired... of feeling worthless.... of being alone....judged by others that
have no Idea what disable people have to put up with just to survive....
.....
I'm in a lot of Pain... above and beyond the constant everyday chronic chit I live with... Those who dwell in the house of Chronic Pain... Know full well....what I'm talkin about....
I'm glad the rest of ya don't......
.....
I'm payin the Fiddler... cause I have to do things I can't afford to pay for....
like put Brakes on my Van.....
I got em on....have a few things to do to finish the job and make sure they work properly so it's safe to operate on the road..
next few days gonna be ruff...
Ruff and sadd... yeppp...
....
I moved to Wisconsin From Killeen..Tx...

Prayers for the wounded... russ

You know what? The world dont evolve around any of us young or old.But who gives a darn what one smart mouth kid's opinion... what the h*** does he know about life? You have cut your teeth on better days than he's gonna see.Tell him to go take a flying leap around a donut.
Some people in this world happens to care about you,mainly me and many more.Dont leave us out in the cold??

I also want to thank you for all your encouraging words...you are a wonderful person and I wish you only the very best....I sure hope I will be hearing from you again and this wasn't a goodbye.......have you got your bike fixed so you can get out and ride...............even getting out and walking some up and down the street will help, I know I started doing it. It's hard at first but you will feel so much better...Best wishes, Sharon

That was a nice entry, BUT, you better not be leaving! You have a special way with words that is needed here. I have often found myself laughing at various things you've said. Your unique way of looking at the world is great. Your laughter is contagious.
If you leave DS, some people might be inclined to "borrow" your bike until you return. Just thought I'd mention that for whatever it's worth.
No matter what you decide to do, I wish you lots of good health, peace, and happiness!

You know Russ you are so right.There was a time when we needed the power of support we recieved from our friends on dailystrength.As we grow and manage our situations and problems we dont need as much support.Thank God for growth,thank God for healing.I hope to never out grow my friends here as they will allways be dear to me.But my buddy I understand what you feel as I too have reached that level of growth.
Dont forget to come say hi as we have all grown attached and it feels like family,so dont throw family away.
Always fond of you always a friend.
