forgive me my impulsiveness when Im hurting...forgive me for intruding into your life...I never meant to cause pain...but to touch me is to feel pain. And if I allow anyone to do so...the blame is mine alone! The answer is not tearing down these walls behind which shines the sun my life misses...but rather accepting the darkness in which I live...and ridding my thoughts of foolish hopes.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
You don't have to accept the darkness...Look out the window and see the light...it's shining bright!
You have to tear down those walls....let the truth out...The Truth Will Set You Free.
You can't live with a chained up soul, that's living in captivity/bondage. Tell your story, release the truth...Let the Healing begin.
I don't know all your story...but know there IS light at the end of this tunnel...Things don't have to look so bleak.
I started training myself to wake every morning and immediately list what I am thankful for...
"Thank you for my fluffy dog. Thank you for my wiry dog. [They always come first!] Thank you for owning my own home. Thank you for a roof over my head. Thank you for having more than enough resources to feed myself. Thank you for owning my car outright. Thank you for cheap car insurance. Thank you for my friends on DailyStrength. Thank you for DailyStrength!"
The more days I do it, the more I find that I am thankful for... Today, I am ESPECIALLY thankful for Senator John McCain and the people in his office who make time to help me with my social security claim even in the middle of his campaign. Even though I do not agree with many of his positions, I am thankful that we have a senator who is so honest and upfront and truly does what he can to help people. I am especially thankful that Daisy brought writing to the senator to my attention. She and he have made a beautiful difference in my life. They shone light inside until the darkness receded to the far corners. How awesome is that?!!! :)
I am also thankful for friends from my past finding me, reaching out and getting in touch with me. Although I am sad that Jeff and his mom went through PTSD, it has be an amazing gift to me to have someone who knows me so well, who has cared for me so long (we've been like siblings since we first met) and loves me for me be able to truly understand both sides of this disease.
He's an AMAZING resource like no other because of all those things. Plus, he's a web designer and great artist who wants to help me with www.CarrotofHope.org. That *really* rocks! :)
It's amazing what God [Universe, insert preference here] brings when you just keep asking and praying for help. You never know how it will come together. Still, it always works out. FRICKIN' AMAZING! :)
