[QUOTE="Star*, post: 336084, member: 4964"] Steely, I was thinking the same exact thing that Three Shadows wrote. This was not a negative necessarily, but more like a release, with healing. Matt was released from a place you felt was negative, now he's in a better place. Positive. You were stressed out and worried about his welfare and did what you felt was the right thing to do even though the place where he was fought you on it, now that negative is gone and you are in a better place mentally. Positive. You (warrior Mom) went through possibly one of the worst & horrific weather situations (severe negative for tens of thousands of people) this year if not in the last ten years of that areas history and came home unscathed. Major positive. (Excellent positive that you chose a very dependable jeep). So out of ALL this - ALL this - you fall, cut your hand and you feel THAT is the bad thing in all of this? (insert my mild chuckle) Because.......I am thinking....after ALL THE ABOVE....YOU think a cut on the hand is the bad part? oy. AND you had a place to go and funds to GET stitches? Oy again. Sometimes luv - you have to start appreciating the rain clouds and the thunder before you can appreciate the rainbows that are shining just for you. Matt's safe, you're safe, money was spent - but it's replacable. Your hand will heal, and you have friends here that care about you enough to tell you that bad things do happen to good people....all day, every day, very bad things to very good people. But we keep going, and we keep our heads up....and we keep plowing through because WE (not them - US) WE are the ones that people look to when times get really really crazy, rough, tough, impossible and say "Well look at her, and all she's been though...how did SHE handle it?" Instead of looking at all these things as a curse or a negative, start looking at the survival of it all as a blessing. Don't wish you had less bad things happen - Wish you had more courage. Don't wish you had fewer problems - Hope you have more strength. Don't wish it wouldn't happen to you, be thankful it did happen to you and you survived because when it happens to someone else? You're going to be able to lean over and offer your hand to help them up & let them know it WILL be okay, they can survive. Positive affirmations every day.....from here on out. That scar on your hand is a mark....to remind you ever day for the rest of your life that you are a survivor, strong, and every day for the rest of your life you will overcome whatever is thrown at you. It's your badge of honor. Your own personal evil eye. (so to speak) NOW GO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST....:happy: Hugs & Love Star [/QUOTE]
