[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 602424, member: 1721"] Recovering, you have worked very hard to find, and to freely walk, a better path. I am so proud and happy for you! As always happens when I read your postings, I celebrate with you, and I celebrate again, for myself. I know that, if one of us can do this ~ if one of us can make those first scary, conscious choices to reinterpret our realities and choose freedom from guilt, if one of us can choose to refute that little voice continually speculating about how, if only we'd been brighter, if only we'd acted sooner, if only we'd seen it coming, we might have changed these outcomes...then I can, too. It's especially wonderful that you have given yourself permission to fall in love with yourself, and with your own life, again. So many of us live under a pall of punishment, desperately believing that if we just try harder, we will stumble over the answers we need. Perhaps where you are now is where I am going, next. Recovering? I will think of you so often as I give myself permission to take that healthier path, again and again. Reading your posts, I get the feeling that it is a series of small, everyday choices that eventually finds us viewing the events of our lives from a whole different mountaintop. Life must look very different from there, Recovering. Here is a toast to both of us then, and to all of us, here on the site. We are toasting ourselves, toasting the children we love and the lives we are happily reclaiming. Hear the ring of the crystal? Know what we are drinking? That green juice you used in your detox. :O) Barbara [/QUOTE]
