[intothelight]

Also - - this is really huge - - I DROVE a car for the first time in 6 months. And I did not panic.

Grace,

Enjoy your new found freedom. I hope you have many wonderful weekends (days).

How I once felt

Free my mind from this prison and I shall thrive for the darkness of these self made walls is sometimes too much for me to bear, and even whilst this unwanted journey seems too far for me to walk, walk it I must if I am to reach the light that tries to elude my restless dreams and cause my waking hell, but still I will not despair in the hope that I will find the good days and cherish them, and these cherished days shall carry me through and chase away the shadows of darker days that may yet head my way.

May your good days also carry you through?

Steve

Dear Steve- that's so beautiful.
I am so glad you had the foresight +/or faith and hope even then to hang on to what is good.
Thank you for sharing that with me/ us, hope is a most precious commodity. :)

Happiness is a hard fought for emotion even in the so called good times, therefore hope can be a route to your future happiness. I used to get so angry but this anger is self destroying as you are the only one who feels its devastating affects even if those around you are on the receiving end have to deal with your fallout. If you keep telling yourself things will get better then they ultimately will because to be angry for ever is a long, long time and one day as I did you may look back and wonder where you life has gone; so I say save your limited strength to fight the good fight which is the only one that counts, that is the one that leads to a state of wellbeing. Once you recognise this state of wellbeing you will guard it with your life and then happiness will enter back into your life, and when it does you will be embarked on a process which is a self perpetuating route to freedom. As much as others may try to guide you the spark within can only be ignited from your own minds eye, so search deep within your mind and you will eventually find it.
Keep Well
Steve

Thank you Steve, I agree- your words are very wise, not just as regards anger but anything self-limiting; maybe the mind's eye is connected to one's one heart and soul, too.
I hope it is truly that self-perpetuating- the inclination is definitely there. And something tells me it's the only way.
(..And you are still hopeful, lol. Thank you).

Care to all and The Biggest of Congratulations to Grace (sorry Grace, didn't mean to hijack your thread, you provide Hope for others in your Happiness, too :):tup:)

There is nothing more pure than a thought that is driven from the heart. Grace I am also sorry if I hijacked your thread, but I just know you will continue to be an inspiration to others becuase you will overcome and show the way forward. If you can each week do somthing that takes you out of your normal comfort zone and then tell us about it.
Keep strong
Steve
