An occasional thought possibly of value or worth considering, possibly absurd and futile.

We all know we suffer in various ways and to different degrees. With all the pain, frustration, depression, the weariness of the constant battle is there something else occurring within us? Is there possibly some good, some ability, some skill, some strength, some knowledge or wisdom that we acquire in this fight?The ability to truly emphasize and sympathize with other peoples pain is the first thing that comes to mind. Are there other things? Is this wishful thinking or another symptom of my own illness?I do notice that some folks who post seem to be in great pain, often crying out and yet continuing on, feeling like giving up but not doing it. This is a great inspiration for me. 

My computer is being repaired making it a little more difficult to read and post. But I’ll figure out something 👍🏾🤔

I think all you mentioned are so true the strength and wisdom certain skills empathizing, … in the fights we go through prepares us for the next fight and the next and the next… we come to find that we are doing it well, this difficult life, even when it’s really hard, we keep going and each time we face a new obstacle , and we keep going we are winning. We are being positive and strong even when we may feel weak, we are way more. So much that we’ve been through, I believe, are all never in vain because we think back and learn from the experiences and use it on our way down the road of our special journey. Thanks for being so thoughtful and for posting about such an awesome subject. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Yes, there is. God is training you (and me now for decades) to help others like us.
