Notice your special moments Add a good memory to your mind for a rainy day

[Starrlight]

Sometimes the moments just chillin in nature with a friend or a brother can turn out to be one of our most favorite memories. And from those memories we create the notion that we are very capable of living with many more beautiful moments. It’s hard to believe in the good times when so down so anxious. The perception is tainted but maybe by recording writing or keeping pictures can help remind us of better times and how there will be more. And that our lives are the most precious of gifts; unique journeys. When there is pain there can still be beauty. We can still be honoring our space in life. We can still be that beauty. When we are in a bad place our lives are not in vain. We are each here for good reason. It’s going to be okay.

Starrlight, I was very moved by your post. The words are so true when anxiety

is present it can rob us of moments we could treasure. "Where there is pain there

still can be beauty" are certainly words we should remember. Thank you for sharing.

And yes, it's going to be okay. xx

I feel like I might end up saying oh well I thought I’d find these and see the pics as good days but what if they were not what if they are all lies? That’s the kind of trash my mind sometimes thinks. Eh anyway I will look at the pics and try to believe in the good ol days.

Dear delicate Starr,

Photos can make us smile broadly or weep badly. It's not the photo. It's our mood. Happy or gloomy. The profound feeling when we recall the past memory is the brain responding to the present mood.

Of course, that's an oversimplification but we can't allow ourselves to dwell on feelings.

It takes much effort and a desire to enjoy life, to choose life. We have self control in most areas of life. For example, food, drugs, recreation, grooming, etc.

Kind supportive friends can make a difference. Even a hug, right!

Everyone has something to offer, as you've seen here. They gather here to respond to our needs and often unlock a closed door. Often, having faced similar conditions, they can help.

Keep in mind that the One who knows the genesis or design of the human brain can support or maintain it's function. Hope that is a comforting thought for you. We can choose Him as our best Friend.

When I look at a photo taken when I was happy it brings me hope. Photos can change a mood if we try. Sometimes I see something soooo happy and I am still soooo sad but like I said there’s that hope in it. 😊

Many precious things in that photo. 💗 And you are precious Starrlight. I look at pictures of my nieces & nephews when I'm down to remind myself I'm loved.
