NC - that is the most brilliant road map to Tweenerville!

You are an incredible writer - and so freaking funny. These posts are so refreshing. Humor in the darkest places has kept many a people sane.

And, I am also honored that I made it onto the Map!

Gosh - the only stop that I can think of is for the haunted house of LCers! Let's designate a stop on the tour for them!

Brilliant!

TU.

Hey NC!
I too loved this road map...always need for a good laugh while allowing for self-reflection. Your posts are usually good for that in my eyes.

Yes where I am we have a few roundabouts (loved them while living in europe), but locals get offended if they are not called rotaries! :) And thank goodness there is no possiblity of LC for me, that would be like the roundabout at the Arch de Triumphe for me!

I only have one place to add, and it is kind of where I ended up Friday and it almost ruined my weekend. The exit for the State "IT'S NOT" Fair grabbed me. Here is where we find ourselves when we feel that our XAPs have gone on and are living just fine while we are left to struggle and ride all the merry-go-rounds and emotional roller-coasters all my ourselves. In all actuality we have no idea how XAP is feeling, coping, reacting, healing, avoiding simply because of complete NC! Only by realizing that anything we think about XAP's dealings is purely speculative do we find the way out of the Crazy Fun House and back onto the NC1 Highway!

As for your downer weekend, I am sorry to hear that. I too had another wavy day on Friday....maybe you are right it does come in cycles (guess this time it hit this hemisphere first!). I was lucky in that I had the ability to read this board, and get some great advice/support from a cyber-buddy. I am still trying to sort out exactly what happened and what the triggers where that sent me flying on such a loop de loop. Read, read, read my dear friend and you will find all those answers that are already inside you, just slightly buried right now. Also, I found the few threads that happened yesterday (well Sunday for us in Ameriland) to be very insightful!

I too need to take that medicine...and maybe, just maybe with a spoon full of sugar I too can finally Let It Go! I hope the same can happen to you. And please, while you may be annoyed with yourself for being unable to fully engage this weekend, YOU o are not pathetic! You are mindful, and attempting all you can to help heal yourself. Using negative terms on yourself to label your own feelings is not useful. A very wise ender here assured me of that recently. If you are being pathetic at any point...dont worry I am sure one of the vets will call you on it ;)

Enjoy your meaty dinner (or breakfast...cant keep the damn time straight over there).

Wishing you calming and "letting it go" vibes this evening...
peace&light

Bravo NC! With your permission, I'd like to post this on my blog, and I too am honored to have made your map- even those the roses in SLOJ smell like crap :) I too am familiar with wallowsville. I spend a lot of time there, in fact, I am thinking of running for mayor. But what I take from this is that it's a process and journey and each journey is unique to each visitor. We all get there eventually, some just take longer. As long as we keep moving forward, we will all find happiness; we will all heal; and that is what I wish for most.

Hugs,

NC,


Absolutely brilliant. You need to embrace this about yourself as you continue your journey to Indifference Peak, and for those who get lost in "Stuck on Stupid" (had to thrown that in), you will need

NC,


Way to go my dear sister, I love your witty approach and it shows you are indeed healing and making wonderful progress.


We all have our moments of longing for what could have been, not what really was. As long as we know the difference, we can weather through those moments like a quick downpoor followed by coller temperatures and sunshine.


I too struggled this weekend with a jaunt down Memory Lane. I know ever town has one but in each town

GMLB,
Bravo! you captured in a quick metaphor a transition that I couldn't in pages of my journal! Thank you for the opening my eyes to places on Memory Lane. Wondering if I will be riding in a flying car by the time I get to go down the Memory Lane in Indiferenceville?

A store with no handle...LOVE IT! You all make me smile!
Peace&Light
