Feeling Much Better, Thank You Friends

The past couple of days have been emotional for me, not my "norm" at all.  Yesterday I woke up feeling blue, I cried in the morning, and I don't exactly know why. I wanted to reach out, but it felt strange to me. I know, on this site there is so much caring, so much experience, so many good people to help you. But mostly I reach out to help my friends, and when I found that I had need, I was, well, reluctant to ask, and didn't really know how. So I posted my thoughts in a journal.  And so many replied, and gave me different perspectives and ideas. Let me say that I am very appreciative of the caring and support.  Chances are that if you are reading this today you were there for me yesterday.  Through the words and ideas expressed to me, I was able to turn myself around. I did not simply avoid the pain like I know how to do, instead I was given inspiration, I was given caring, and yes, I was given love.  You know who you are, and what you mean to me, and I thank you now, again, for the kindness, concern, and determination to help me understand, and to move forward.   I've changed my avatar back to the Michaelangelo statue David. I feel strong today, there is no obstacle I can't overcome, and I feel beautiful, again.
