[QUOTE="MuM_of_OCD_kiddo, post: 462094, member: 12241"] Steely [I have been following your recent losses and upheavals] - speaking in metaphors: in nature wildfires are the great rejuvenators. Big raging fires seem to destroy everything in their path, but are actually making place for the newly emerging seedlings and are providing light, air, and added fertilizer and new resources to what is newly emerging. In smaller fires or controlled burns, the fires destroy weedy underbrush, parasites and beetles, and the - at first sight perceived - damage to established trees is actually serving as a beneficial jolt which causes stimulation, rejuvenation and vigorous growth during the next growing season. Allow yourself a time to grief and rest, lose ballast and remove the burdens and parasites from your life [guilt, pain, anger, negative emotions, people that are not good for you]. Use the good things and sometimes bittersweet memories that remain as fertilizer for your new start=over. Utilize your experiences, your knowledge and allow those new saplings to emerge and permit the surviving trees to green out and continue to rise into the light once more. Grow, Steely - grow! Upwards. Outwards, not inward. Hugs! [/QUOTE]
