Thanks for stopping by :).

Sometimes when you read self worth articles, the coaches sound just too damned chipper, a world apart from where we are and so we give up. I'd be more inclined to listen to someone who has to steadily work at it just like me - so keep going strong! Your post reminded me of why dieting usually fails - we give into temptation and then for that one slip grant ourselves permission to quit when it wasn't a failure, it was merely a tiny blip. Have a great day 'shining' :) Your words can only be enhanced by allowing people to see you’re human,none of us however smart are perfect.

Thanks for your thoughts! Karen: Thank you - It sure is a process... and even when the meltdowns come (like this one did), it's good to know we can bounce back, maybe a little bit quicker than the last time (like this time!). And right back at you - I really value your friendship.

But you can't get it wrong because you never get it done! Keep reaching for the better thought and it gets easier but every once in awhile we all have a meltdown!! Remember you're not the only one. (we all have times when we want to quit!) Thanks for sharing! I'm glad you're feeling better!! Sending you Love and Light today and everyday! (You are one of my best cyberfriends!!) Hey Lyman,

(Sorry about the shouting). It's through personal struggle, the emerging learning, and hopefully, wisdom, that we are able to speak authoritatively and confidently about life. Keep on writing about you... Lyman,

For a long time, I thought I was doing something wrong because I wasn't having this single A-HA!/white light/instant change experience. It really helps to remember that 99.99999999999% of change takes time. Thank you so much for your comment. Carolyn: I knew you had to be a Python fan. :) A problem with depression is that one of it's main symptoms is <em>not caring</em> enough to even want to pull out of it... it becomes a really nasty cycle. I'm grateful for the people I've met (like you) who've helped me want to again. Nneka: Thank you… doing something to change it does change the world. :)
