2014

I AM GLAD 2013 IS NEARLY OVER, BUT WE SAY THAT about THIS MOST YEARS DON'T WE!! 2013 HAS BEEN A DIFFICULT BUT EYE openING YEAR FOR ME. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I FLEW FAR O/S TO BE WITH MY PARTNER, IT WAS THE YEAR THAT MY EYE SPECIALIST DIDN'T GIVE UP ON ME, IT WAS FILLED WITH A MIX OF JOY, SADNESS AND ILLNESS. I HAVE LEARNT TO BE, OR SHOULD I SAY BE HAPPY REGARDLESS OF MY CIRCUMSTANCES, DIFFICULT TO DO SOMETIMES. THIS YEAR I BECAME STRINGENT AND STRONG REGARDING USERS AND TOXIC PEOPLE. ALSO I HAVE LEARNT TO STEP BACK FROM THINGS AS WELL. MOST IMPORTANTLY I HAVE LEARNT THAT I AM ABLE TO LOVE AND BE LOVED IN RETURN.

YES WE HAVE TO HELP OURSELVES. AND I DO THIS WITH SUPPORT, BUT NOT WITH OVER RELIANCE. RE: MY THERAPIST, PSYCHIATRIST, GP, CLOSE FRIENDS, MY PARTNER. I HAVE LEARNT TO BE AND KEEP STRONG IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY. I STILL FALL EVERY SO OFTEN BUT NOT AS HARD AS I ONCE DID. I ACCEPT HELP AND GUIDANCE, ALWAYS HAVE BUT I HAVE LEARNT THAT IT IS UP TO ME IN THE END. I ALSO HAVE LEARNT THAT I HAVE GOOD AND BAD DAYS, BUT THE BAD DAYS DOES NOT MEAN I AM A BAD PERSON.

2014-WELL MY FRIENDS IT IS ALREADY A WORK IN PROGRESS. I HAVE BEGUN. I WILL BE GOING O/S AGAIN TO BE WITH MY PARTNER. IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME NOW AND I YEARN TO BE IN HER LOVING ARMS. I HAVE LEARNT THAT TIME IS BOTH MY ENEMY AND FRIEND. AND I HAVE LEARNT THAT TIME WAITS FOR NO MAN. I HAVE LEARNT THAT HELPING OTHERS HELPS ME. I HAVE ALSO LEARNT TO RECEIVE AND THAT YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO GIVE. I AM CONTINUALLY BUILDING ON MY STRENDTHS AND MAKING MY WEAKNESSES LESS SO.

WE ALL LEARN IN DIFFERENT WAYS AND VIA DIFFERENT TYPES OF MEDIUMS. I WANT TO CONTINUALLY DEVELOP THIS IN MY LIFE. I AM SO MUCH STRONGER FOR MY EXPERIENCES. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO GO INTO THAT DIRTY BLACK HOLE TO EVENTUALLY SEE THE LIGHT. WELL IT IS FOR ME. SO MY MANTA STILL HOLDS FIRM 'SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE'. AS IT DOES. AND I HAVE SLAYED MANY A DRAGON ALONG MY PATH AND I WILL KEEP SLAYING THEM UNTIL THEY ARE ALL GONE.

SO 2014 IS ALL about THE JOURNEY OF HAPPINESS, AGAIN A WORK IN PROGRESS, BUT SO IS EVERYTHING!! MY WILL IS STRONG AND THIS WILL HOLD ME IN GOOD STEAD. SADNESS, I DON'T NEED IT. BITTERNESSS AND RAGE IS ALL CONSUMING THATS WHY I DONT ALLOW IT INTO MY LIFE. DETERMINATION, THIS GOOD. PLANNING, GOOD. BELIEF, GOOD, STRENGTH, GOOD. BEING POSITIVE GOOD. AND WHEN THE POSITIVES OUTWY THE NEGATIVES, EXCELLENT. SO HERE WE GO!!! ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!! THANKS FOR LISTENING AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO POST BACK THIS WOULD BE NICE.

MANY HEALING BLESSINGS TO ALL OF MY HW BUDDIES. MAY THE NEW YEAR BE ONE OF STRENGTH, POSITIVITY AND HAPPINESS FOR YOU. REMEMBER THAT LIFE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS-KEEP PROGRESSING. THE PAST IS GONE, AS KAREN HAS TAUGHT US ALL, IT IS about THE HERE AND NOW.

MANY BLESSINGS,
THE HAPPY TURTLE.

SUCH AN AWESOME POST JAMIE. I HOPE 2014 BRINGS ALL OF US POSITIVE CHANGE. CHANGE IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH WHETHER WE WANT TO OR NOT. AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE FOR THE GOOD...

I HOPE OTHERS POST HERE.

AMSHORTY5, WELCOME TO THE FORUM. I AM GLAD YOU HAVE JOINED US. I SEE YOU HAVE POSTED A COUPLE OF TIMES. I THINK THAT THIS IS AN AWESOME THREAD AND I HOPE OTHERS SHARE ON HERE.

2013 WASN'T A BAD YEAR FOR ME, I DID SOME LEARNING TOO. I AM LEARNING about PEOPLE, GIVING AND BEING USED. IT IS A HARD LESSON TO FACE. NOBODY WANTS TO ADMIT TO THEMSELVES THAT THEY ARE BEING USED OR TAKEN FOR GRANTED. IT HAPPENS TO ALL OF US, AND THE USER DOESN'T ALWAYS REALIZE WHAT THEY ARE DOING. I HAVE TO LEARN NOT TO LET THAT HAPPEN, AND NOT TO BE ANGRY AT THIS PERSON.

2013 WENT BY AWFUL FAST. MY GRANDKIDS ARE ALL OLDER AND SO AM I. I WANT NOT TO EVER TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED. I ALWAYS WANT TO APPRECIATE WHAT I HAVE. I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU. AND THIS FORUM. ESPECIALLY AFTER GOING THREE WEEKS THERE WITHOUT A COMPUTER. THAT WAS PURE HELL...

TAKE CARE ALL.

HAVE AN AWESOME DAY!!!

HUGS, KAREN...
