Thank you very much RBM. Do not worry that my bomb made you think of you. It is often by looking through the glasses of another that we can most easily recognize that change in perspective that is needed to move ourselves forward. I too have learned from you...and always will. Your words upon my arrival about taking time have been invaluable to me.
I too feel this is the start of a long recovery...from everything. Thank you for the words of encouragement...they were wonderful to read in the moments before my operation. I plan on using this second chance the best I can.
Im glad to hear about your night out with the W, and so proud of you that that counter on the ol Android is still clicking upwords. Thank you my brother. peace&light Foggy
Thanks Bodhi! I too am glad that I posted, and did not delete an hour later. I most certainly received so many positive thoughts at a time when I needed them most. Thank you for believing in me and helping me know that I deserve it. You are such a wonderful light upon this community...never stop shining! Peace&light Foggy
Lillie, Thank you for betting on me :) I know for a while that would have been a risky bet, but now it is a slam dunk. I appreciate so much the well wishes. I also very much appreciated the other parts of your reply that you DELETED!!! WHY?????
I hope that you have them saved and can bring them back. I only got to read them briefly, but they were very thought provoking and I really needed them. Your post from early November started a thought pattern in me that took weeks to mature and grasp onto. I am so thankful for that. You have such amazing insight, and I am not sure what caused you to edit your wonderful words in this post but don't every do it again!!! :) Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts, it helped more than you will ever know. peace&light Foggy T
Hey Alwayst, thank you. You too are supportive and so respectful and appreciative of all that gets offered in this place and for that I am so thankful. It means so much to me that you would keep me in your thoughts and prayers....it helped to save me. Life is such a mystery...and as sorry as I am that you are here, I am glad for now you are alongside me trying to figure it out. I am glad that my words could help you... and that a change in perspective is met with welcome arms.
You were around when I first got here, but I know now that you just were not quite ready enough to say ENOUGH! I too look forward to knowing you better...and will do my best to remain active. Until then here is a glimpse into where I started, and my moniker I used all the way up until the new boards wouldn't let me :)
Thanks MC, I really appreciate your thoughts and prayers, they mean the world right now. I know you are new and I am sorry I have not been around to welcome you. I have read all of your posts though and even though you are struggling, I want you to know that you are doing great and we are proud of you. It is not easy, but things do get better. Just be mindful and listen to what these tweeners and vets have to say (and take their advice on everything...not just what you think makes sense). I wish you the best in your recovery as well. And if you are interested, here is my story.
Dear Dear Lolly, Perspective and perception...they really are everything. I thank you so much for your well wishes, and being proud of me for posting. As you know its not easy for me, and having your support has been so valuable. Thanks for the buckets I can still feel them raining down on me. I am so proud of you, and all of your recent growth...and your ability to express it so very well. We can not wait to welcome you to tweenerville now that the last damn hurdle is out of the way ;) Much, much love back at you. peace&light Foggy
My Dear Iddy, I am so sorry that my post had that affect on you. I feel like I made my mom cry hearing that. I have to say thank you for returning when you did... I could feel your heart, soul, and spirit wrapped around me. Your words were the last I was able to read just before hitting the OR, and it was just like having a family member send me off. It is a long story, but sadly no I had no family with me that day...but that is why I am so glad I posted (even though it caused much shocking duress to many), because I had you all with me...and it helped tremendously.
As they administered the anesthesia I looked around and envisioned the whole room light up with candles and it put me at such peace. Ok maybe that was just the good drugs doing their trick ;)
You too are amazing and again thank you for all you do for us here. With deep respect and thankfulness Peace&light Foggy T
Thanks MOM! Big Hugs right back atcha!!! Thank you for the thoughts and coming out of lurkdom for my benefit...dont you just hate it when someone does that to you? :) Congrats on your first month (again) of NC! I know you will do it this time. I am always here if you need anything. Dont be afraid to post your thoughts...as you can see this place is amazing! The surgery did go great and I will keep you updated as I move along recovery. All my best peace&light Foggy
