Pulling ourselves up again

It’s ok... to fail because you’ve tried and that is a triumph not in vain. It’s okay. Go out of your comfort zone anyway. You are brave and your fears will subside with patience. I know it’s difficult and after every difficulty comes ease. Listen to your soul as it is wise.

❤️ thank you I am glad it helped. Best to you JAYnLA our souls are wise and tell us everything we need to know.

But it takes the wise sometimes to impart wisdom and then when one person learns they teach someone else.

Yeah it’s good to seek wisdom elsewhere at times from those who have had a similar experience or knowledge on the subject at hand yes but we also know ourselves better than anyone else can do at times we also need our own wisdom.

Proverbs 4:7 King James Version (KJV)

7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

Thank you for your wisdom. God bless you.

Hey, my excellent friend, your words are timely and have much meaning to me. I had a major meltdown late last night and it was in part because I failed to say and do the exact right things concerning DM. The emotional pressure combined with a number of other minor but emotional things finally got the better of me. I haven't melted down in over 2 months and I thought all that was through. But, my chatline friends & my sweetie helped me get over it. Late last night I had a minor relapse and DenverHappy, another good friend of mine helped me though that. The most prevalent message I was given was quite simple: 'I am only human and I can only do so much. I am not perfect and I cannot take on everyone else's problems without eventually harming myself.' I am still somewhat embarrassed that I lost it twice in one night. I am trying to practice some compassion for myself right now. Trust me it's hard. I hope you are okay, my bright shining Star. From here on out, I am ceasing 80%+ of my activity on H/U. But, I promise I will keep in touch with you. (((((HUGS FOR MY AWESOME FRIEND STARRLIGHT)))))!!!!

Just participating the way I want seems too difficult. I’m so tired out. I feel so baaaad and I want to make my kiddos Spring break to be a blast for them you know? I’m finding it hard to keep running maybe I should play goalie, eh? Instead of running after the ball I’ll just chill till it comes to me.

Oh yeah goalie is a very important position star,just an observation but your overthinking 🤔..the kids not having a blast thing I’m sure as long as you’re there that’s a blast for them ...I got windy weather too 😏💨I prefer sunshine 🙋🏻‍♂️
