My last 3 days
Again, I'm overcome with the amount of love on this board. Please, everyone who responded, know that you helped me tremendously. It felt like a nice fluffy, supportive mattress under me when I read all your posts. I think it's amazing that when I felt at my low point, immediately I thought of posting here and reaching out. I'm so glad that we take the time to know each other and to offer wisdom when a member is hurting. I found myself wishing that I could just gather all of you into my livingroom and spend an evening in front of the woodstove getting to know all of you. There are amazing people here! It's going to be a difficult Christmas with the war still raging (what war, though?- aren't our troops just peacekeepers at this point?) My son, emailed last week and asked me to send candy that he can pass out to the Iraqi children.
That makes my heart happy.
On a more positive note, I have two children, and my daughter flies in from India/Nepal on Christmas day to spend 4 days with us. She's been there working on a grant she got from the Environmental Protection Agency dealing with sustainablility and preserving the environment. She attended a world-wide conference in Delhi. I can't wait to hear all about her adventures. So, my dear friends, hopefully, I can stay away from the chardonnay and just tune into the positive blessings I have in my life. I count this site as one of them!
Suicide isn't really an option for me, but as one of you said - who hasn't thought of it when we're at our lowest?
Thank-you, thank-you. Em
