[SongBirdandDaisy]

there are so many people with problems, and emotional hurts, and I have my own - too many - and why oh why is this happening? Are there no answers? Are there no cures?

How will I face work tomorrow? How do I find that stupid, plaster, happy face to hide behind? I will do what I always do, just survive.

songbird without a song, daisy without water, shaylee with no place to go, snowbird with feet frozen in the ice.

(((((to you all))))

I know you will make it. Why? Because you have made it in the past!

I am here for you

Slogging through the muck, You are a pro. No doubt. Practice makes perfect and I have seen you grow from the mire into beautiful flowers and birds and wonderful images, many of which you so graciously share with us'ns. As we heal, we learn to sing in the sunshine and dance in the pouring rain with each other, the members of our support circle, our pets. You help me pull it off.......

Sometimes it feels this way, doesn't it. I always find it hardest to face work on the night before; once i am there I am so busy that it all just rolls along and there isn't much time to think about how I'm feeling. In that way work can be a blessing.
Like Rainbowzz said, you've done it before, so you know you can do it again. I know, sometimes it doesn't feel that way, but remember feelings are not always facts. They are important, but they may not reflect how things really are.

I hope you all find the things you are missing soon.

Caution! Turtles like smileys, especially colorful ones! Hee hee

Thank you Rainbowzz, it's from the heart.

"Think of it not so much as losing something, but changing to something new" I like this idea that you said in another thread where I can't go - I've never thought of it that way before. Something I will have to ponder HHHMMM??

You may have just broken "the code"

[SongBirdandDaisy]

Relatives?

Thank you honey bunny. Your words will eventually reach my ears.

[SongBirdandDaisy]

Feelings? Facts? I always get it confused. Like which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Thanks Caroline. It's just sooooooooooo

[stormgirl]

You will cope tomorrow, just like you have coped for many a day before. This is what wonderful people like us do, we SURVIVE and heck thats an achievment in itself.

I am sending you some water for daisy, some warm sunlight to melt the ice so the little birds feet will no longer be frozen, a wonderful song and a special little wand so that shaylee can create any space required.

Sending them through now

((((((((((( Everyone )))))))))))))))

I so hope that today is a better today.

And Welcome! That was such a sweet thing that you did for a total stranger (strangers). Thank you kindly.

I wish it were as simple as that . . . . but your wishes did warm my heart and soften my brow, thank you.

SongBird and Everyone

Oh, I know. And I'm not always sure I buy into all of the feeings stuff. But I can see that I use emotional reasoning too much - I rely on how I feel rather than how things are. Trouble is, when I am feeling I only see the world through a particular pair of glasses, and they colour it all the way I am feeling.

((((songbird and daisy and snowbird and shaylee))))

[SongBirdandDaisy]

Thank you Jan

I am trying, really I am. Thank you for the warm thoughts.

Howdy Do, Caroline?

T said that I have trouble making decision because my emotional side doesn't connect with my intellectual side, so everyone is doing what they want to do.

I know about colored glasses. And it makes sense. I think alot of people do that. You know "love is blind" etc. I just can't get the two sides to connect yet. I will, someday. It may be the day I die, but I am going to get it.

Warm Hugs,

SongBird

SongBirdandDaisy, We have come a long way......We are survivors. As hard as it gets, we find a way to survive......We are the lucky ones......

Lilith,

Thank you for the gentle reminder. We are lucky in that we survived, I guess, eventhough sometimes I wonder. But, there are those that have not, for many different reasons, whether by their hand or someone elses.

T is always saying that "a short term pain for a lifetime gain". I know I can survive, I always have, but I want to live, not just survive.
