even being alive for this day is taking care of ourselves, for some of us.

Yes Fuzzy.....I agree as well!! And succeeding for this one day is an amazing feat that we all have a right to be proud of. Even you!! Succeeding to stay alive one more day, one more minute, one more breath, is practicing good self care.
Nice work, furry friend!! (if okay)

((((fuzzybear)))) You are so right my dear friend. For everyday we live, it is one more day that our abusers and depression does not get to claim. To live for one day more----is taking care of ourself. Whatever it takes we are doing it. We are survivors. We have a purpose and a reason. We may not know that purpose until it is done. We may know or have an idea but have not reached it yet. Surviving one day----takes back something depression hates. For it does not want us to survive. Today----we have done something kind for ourselves. We have come here and given of ourselves to help others and to be there for them. In that, it can help us through another minute or even a second. So, yes fuzzy----making it through one day for all of us is taking care of us. And I know that I have each one of you to thank for helping me. For everyday when I wake----I look forward to coming here and seeing each one of you. To give an encouraging word, a hug, or just listen. To reach out and take your words of encouragement and love and apply them to my life. Thank you. I love you all. Sending you gentle hugs fuzzy and loving thoughts. Always. dps |

Fuzzy - When I was 10 years old, I had to make a choice whether to survive my parents' abuse so that I could have a chance at having a life someday, or be their victim and forfeit that hope. I cried because I was so small and they were so big, and the task was so huge - a blade of grass fighting a mountain. I chose to survive no matter what, even if only for one more day - and no one in my bio family has ever seen a tear out of me since, no matter what. After making that choice every single day for the past almost half a century, now, it has become so integrated into my very being that I have become that choice - I am the choice I made that day. I didn't know when I was 10 that I would be here with you and the others today, but I'm so very glad that I am - wouldn't want to have missed it for the world. I can tell you in complete honesty that all of the pain, sorrow, enduring, and struggling pales in comparison to all that I have gained by being here, even if only for one more day. Hang in there, Fuzzy; it's so worth it.
