[QUOTE="HeadlightsMom, post: 646963, member: 18284"] Thank you all for your very kind words. I do awaken this morning feeling more refreshed. Our difficult child's current status is not a fun thing. However, I do have the choice of how to respond -- for me. Serendipitously, had a 2-hr phone chat with a decades-long dear friend (I've had viral laryngitis for over a week and just got my voice back yesterday.........we had some catching up to do!). Anyway, when my energy waffles, I seek to re-center. Sometimes I can do that in prayer/meditation. Other times I greatly value enlightened friends who share their flashlight when I'm in a seemingly dark tunnel. My friend spoke of this and then emailed me this link about energy. I loved it! Although I've had inklings of this, I hadn't put the same words and images to it as this person has. I love a new idea! This link is 30-min long.........but I was riveted. Perhaps you will be, too, as it addresses us all in one moment or another.... [MEDIA=youtube]g57xS8HPavs[/MEDIA] And as I pondered what my role in difficult child's current scenario could be (having exhausted all of the standard options I am aware of already), I come away with this......... Sometimes, in the Dark, sometimes the best (and only) thing we can do is to be the Light....maybe even turn up the intensity of that Light. This helps me, difficult child, and all around me. So, today I am seeking to be a Bright Light. Thank you all for sharing your Lights with me! [/QUOTE]
