[quote=white_iris;1095908]bought myself a thumb ring today that says "faith" and on the inside it says "walk by faith not by sight" seemed so appropriate for me right now as I am seeing everything so distorted. hard time believing if i am seeing what is "real" or if it is just flashes of past. I have to have faith that i can "see" what is real and that "sight" is not always reality.......if that makes any sense?????
It makes perfect sense to me, white_iris.
Your idea about the ring, and the wording, is wonderful! What a novel and kind way to remind yourself to take care of you.
Reminding yourself to have faith in your instincts and then acting on that instinct is impressive...honest and direct.
Not many people are willing to do this, I'm glad you are one...it teaches us to seek ways to help us.
Thank you.
anyway--this wearing a ring other than my wedding band is new to me. but as a thumb ring i will see it more often than on my ring finger A reminder to not take all i "see" in this distorted place i am in right now as reality.......
Perhaps it's going to help you more than you know...the act of wearing it and your willingness to challenge possible distortions is a helluva big step, jmo.
really working on the getting out of the place i am in right now......
You are doing some really hard work, white_iris.
Please remember, though, to give yourself permission to laugh, too.

In Peace
