[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 655846, member: 17461"] I am going to figure out how to post a photo of that painting I bought, Copa. Small steps. Expect self sabotage. Part of us is learning we are stronger than we knew. She is afraid we will do a wrong thing and the world will come crashing down on us again. And it will. But we will be stronger enough, when it does. Until it happens. Until that thing happens that we cannot do. But we do that, too. You are stronger than you know or can believe. Small steps, Copa. I had this on my fridge for the longest time, back in the beginning. Can't believe I forgot to include Dr. Seuss in my famous quotes list. Add him, okay? Very much, there is wisdom in Dr. Seuss, for me. I am not so choosy, anymore, about where my strength comes from. There are no atheists, in foxholes. I'm so sorry this is happening to you too, Copa. "Your brains in your head your feets in your shoes. You can go any direction you choose." That is the direct Seuss quote. I added this, for the one I kept on the fridge: Your brains in your head your feets in your shoes. Your hands in your pockets you got nothing to lose. You can go any direction you choose. There is nothing simple or easy or okay about watching our lives crash down around our ears. Coming back from it is hard. It requires strength [I]we don't believe we have[/I]. So create it. Behave as if. Go to the tango lesson, though you will not want to [I]and what you want doesn't matter.[/I] Do it. Cedar Here is one more quote. I have so many quotes written down in my quote box. I wish I could share them all with you. But here is the thing: [I]My quotes don't matter. Find those that describe your own situation to you.[/I] Small steps, Copa. With our families in the positions they are, it is a hard truth that we truly do have nothing to lose. Thus, and to that exact degree, we are free of fear. There is a story: A woman pirate, fierce and beautiful and wild as could be. Her child is kidnapped. Black Bart or Methamphetamine Markus pulls the boy to the front of the ship where his mother can see and threatens to hang him from the yardarm. The mother throws up her skirts and howls: "Go ahead. I can make another." And so, the boy was saved. We laugh about our pirate skirts, here on the site. But we are deadly serious. Well, I am. *** Now I forgot the quote I was going to send you. Cheesh.
