[Fl...] Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'm twisted on that subject because I want compassion from family, friends while at the same time I want to be this "wild thing". Fighting for survival without thinking. Whenever I start to, I cry: "Why me? Why this?" Hope it clarifies? THAT'S A BIG 10/4 MR. A. HOW CAN WE NOT COME OUT STRONGER AFTER THIS JOURNEY? WE HAVE MADE THE DECISION TO PUT OURSELVES THROUGH ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS THAT MOST OF US WILL EVER DO. MY FRIEND...THIS TAKES MAJOR INNER STRENGTH. SO, YOU ALREADY HAVE IT; OTHERWISE, YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO WHAT YOU ARE DOING. NONE OF US WOULD. ISN'T IT NICE...IF YOU DO HAVE A MOMENT OF PITY (I SORTA DON'T LIKE THAT WORD) WEAKNESS, FEELING DOWN...THAT THERE ARE THOSE OF US WHO UNDERSTAND EXACTLY HOW YOU ARE FEELING, AND WE CAN ALL RALLY TOGETHER FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF COMING OUT WHOLE ON THE OTHER SIDE. WERE ALL HERE FOR YA...WE WILL MAKE IT! I OFTEN FIND MY STRENGTH IN MUSIC...SO, HERE YA GO THREE DOORS DOWN "KRYPTONITE" (HERE'S SOME KRYPTONITE FOR ALL OF US) KEEPING FAITH, STRENGTH, COURAGE GOING...AND SHOULD YOU TRIP....WERE HERE TO HOLD YOUR HAND AND PICK YA UP YOUR FLUTER FRIEND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Te...] Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I have a friend in recovery who shared at a meeting once: "I JUST WANT YOU ALL TO SHOWER ME WITH LOVE AND ATTENTION AND LEAVE ME THE F--- ALONE..." Succunct, and how I sometimes feel...this is a very ticklish topic, but a good one to air... Basic instinct is often what i feel i run on when things are really TOUGH tough...you learn to approach your beloved dog companion with care when they have been injured, as they will bite in instinctive response...they are not biting YOU. They are biting and attacking the pain and fear...this does not make you any less bitten, but helps to understand the mechanisms by which we react... I sometimes yield to self-pity, and I find that when I have a pity party, no one comes...i have RSVP'd "No" to invites I have received... I also think it is hard to distinguish the difference in sharing pain and feeling self-pity...sometimes, the nuance of words is individual in interpretation. I have dug myself many a hole with my well-intended words... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is brutally brilliant and funny Texasstar Agree 100% about the nuance of words and distingushing sharing pain and being unproductively sorry for oneself... Well said: ticklish topick!

[Li...] Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Yes, let's dance! http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z414/Lilyagain/BB%20posts/Dont%20walk%20dance_zpsw6rqqqav.jpg I saw this last night and saved it wondering when I would ever use it! lol. Little did I know. I thought of it as being about all of life but today I am seeing something different in my mind... Can you just imagine if you were at a crosswalk and this came up? What if everyone did their own style of dance as they crossed the street together! Wouldn't is be a hoot to see couple dancing waltzes or tangos and individuals doing line dances and more with everyone hearing their own music and taking time to "play" in the middle of a normal day... just crossing the street. Oh, I miss play! Do you still play? Did you ever learn how? It isn't too late... Thank you for your fun posts. It was play to me! : ) Love to All the Dancers, http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z414/Lilyagain/Smileys%20from%20Annie/1sm169dance3_zps6bb67b2d.gif Lily She knows how to be in the moment and play... http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z414/Lilyagain/BB%20posts/SentDoyourdance_zpse1db9b14.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can give him apples...just don't make fun of the fact he has a feed bag at both ends, as he's a little touchy about that...this thread IS my playground, and that's from a guy that thinks maybe he stayed on the merry-go-round a little too long...haw! tex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lapis! I didn't know that it was from that! I just saw it somewhere last night on my travels around the net. That is a great video of a very good idea! I loved it! Wouldn't it be fun to watch the dance and then see the person emerge who was doing it. I bet there would be a few shocks! Love and Dance on!
