Hello Brave And Beautiful One... I Went AWOL About 5 Years Ago And I Drove Out To The Gorge Bridge In Taos, NM, About 40 Miles Away From My House, With Intentions To Jump. This Bridge Is Famous For Suicides And They Have Since Talked Of Installing A Camera And A Call Box There. I Have A Son And A Daughter, Grown With Their Own Families, And I Had/Have Been Struggling With Suicidal Thoughts Over The Past 20 Years, At Least. I Love My Family And I Really Wanted To Give Myself A Chance And Love My Life Too So I Sought Help, And Have Not Returned To My House, But Started Anew 600 Miles South, Closer To My Children's Families. I Still Struggle, But Have Given Myself Permission To Feel What I Sometimes Feel. That Helps Me Alot. I Also Remind Myself That Every 7 Years We Have New Cell Growth That "Pushes Away" The Old Cell Growth That Actually Does Die And So, I Can Move On Because Some Of Me HAS Died. Therefore, I Can Remind Myself That I Am Not The Same Person I Loathed From That 7 Years Cell Growth Back. I Love This Thought! So In My Daily Struggle To Now Survive, I Incorporate New Things That Were Not In My Life Before... Honeysuckle Vines, A Small Shed Turned Into A Cottage, New Books To Read, Afternoon Tea In Sunny Hats... My Grown Granddaughter And Her Boyfriend Now Live Up North In My House So That I Can Appreciate A Reason For Having Built It, And I Have A New Grandson(4 Year's Old) That I Have New Adventures With. I Too, Want To Be Brave And Beautiful.
