The other day, I told my PTSD counselor that I very rarely get depressed any more. In my 'previous life' (in the windowless cave), I struggled with depression often, so for me, this is a huge revelation. My legs have deteriorated dramatically in the last month or so, but I have adjusted to my new limitations and still try to do everything I am able to do to help others. And my spirit is stronger than ever! My daughter is overwhelmed at her job, so I have learned to reach out to others and ask for help, for a ride to the grocery store when needed. I have a roof over my head, food in the kitchen, Bubba by my side and Rocky...somewhere nearby. There is much to be happy about.
It bears repeating: My spirit is strong!
Made it! (Late, as usual.)
ReplyDeleteAny tea left in the pot?
Spirit keeps us going but neighbours with cars are perfectly invaluable.
Welcome, Lesley! Peppermint or Pomegranate/Green?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Lesley - and one should Never be worried about asking for a little lift - of Any Kind, Beth. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you both and you're looking quite settled Beth.
I'd love some pomegranate/green tea if you've some left. I haven't tasted that and I do love the taste of pomegranates. :)
*Passes a cup to Julie* - it's quite yummy! (Good iced, too.) :)
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't my neighbor who gave me a ride. It was my caseworker at the community center, who has always told me to call if I need help of any kind. Finally, I called.
mmm, I drink pomegranate/green too (Tetley makes lots of affordable combinations). I like blueberry/green too :)
ReplyDeleteBeth, I'm so glad you are feelng stronger. I have a difficult time asking for help too. Why are we like this?
hello Beth =)
ReplyDeleteSquish, I'll have to look around for a blueberry/green - sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteGlamel! Welcome!
