[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 672425, member: 19522"] Hi Sea, You are the strong Sea, full of current, and waves, moving in a steady direction. When we are out in the deep blue, on a canoe, that is one of my favorite things. We make our way out through the still waters, pass the little harbor, into the channel and paddle out to the open ocean. Our run is usually first upwind, we have to dig deep and hard with our paddles, driving hard against the wind, waves and current. The canoe goes up, and comes down hard, and we have to press on. This is much like dealing with our issues with our d cs. We have to press on. In our practice sessions, when we have done our upwind piece, we turn our canoes and head back to our home base. Now, the wind is at our backs, our stroke becomes faster paced, I am a steerswoman, and I call out to my crew in encouragement to keep going. There is a pattern to ocean waves and current, we do not try to catch the big swells, we are looking for the waves that are in between, constant, steady, flowing. I see it, feel it beneath me, I call out to my crew to push harder, the canoe is lifted up, going faster and faster. Everyone working together helps to keep the momentum, the canoe is riding, flying, towards our landmark. We have found the path, the following sea. This is you Sea, you have become the "[I]following S[/I]ea". I am happy for you. It is still hard work, keeping up with this following sea on a canoe. We have to be in shape, have good cardio, believe in ourselves and the other paddlers in our crew. We call out to one another, to press on. [MEDIA=youtube]ltVk9Crkhuw[/MEDIA] This is CD. It is our "crew". Keep posting and letting us know how you are Sea, we are encouraged by your steady progress, and we help each other when we are faced with the strong winds and heavy waves life sometimes throws at us. It is hard work, and having a positive, supportive crew on the journey with us is so very good. Thank you so much for sharing your story here. It means much to me and others as well. I am glad you have a coworker who you can vent with. I do too, she is truly a lifeline to sanity! I hope things went well for you Sea, it is a loving gesture on your part. I am cleaning out-still. Cleaning out my mind and bolstering my heart, too. Honesty is important. My girls will still deny drug use, but all the signs are there. It is fun Sea, and gives me much joy. Joy is crucial in our lives, you know? I like to paint seascapes, and portraits. Do you go to your local art museum? It is nice to go and take in the beauty of others creations. Hazmat suit time-ugh. Take it one step at a time, it will get done. I like colorful walls, I have a palette for my house and I like to paint accent walls. My art room has a teal colored wall next to chocolate brown. I am an old hippy and like bohemian, not messy- colorful, eclectic. I am very happy paisley and baroque have come back in style.
