Wow! My counselor told me I don't focus enough on myself. She said if I reached out and let others in, I would be surprised at the responses i receive. This is the first time in a long time that I have actually felt overwhelmed in a good way! Trying to find myself and, more important, my spiritual path, is going to be a lot easier than I though. I HOPE!!! I have good days and bad. This is starting out to be a good day! I am excited and at the same time, sorry that others have had experiences that have caused them troubles in their lives. Excited in the fact that that I am NOT ALONE and sorry that they have had to experience the bad. The messages I wake up to on here and the hugs and prayers are so unexpected....today, I AM ALIVE! No pressure on my chest, no negative thoughts, just a sense of, gosh, no words to describe it...not aloneness but more.
