Try a good night's sleep and perhaps the morrow will be better & hopefully some sun will shine upon you. <BR/><BR/>This may not be the best way to approach looking at the past, but I try to think that "I have made the best decision I can with the knowledge that I had". If we look at every angle & try to understand what is going on around us and make a major decision, then we should not go back at a later date & "beat up" on ourselves and practice the "what if" game. That only leads to depression and regret when we really have done the best that we could do.<BR/><BR/>I once knew a man who would beat up on himself for the smallest thing that he had done. It was so non-constructive and never seemed to help. I always would tell him to take it as a learning experience and not look back on it with too much regret.Cheryl Catohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294358830518520566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72316245999049873.post-31981094429842098912009-02-19T00:26:00.000+00:002009-02-19T00:26:00.000+00:00Fire Byrd~That is such an interesting (& helpf...Fire Byrd~<BR/>That is such an interesting (& helpful) post. I love your analogy of the knitting stomach. I so get that!<BR/>Can I please also be grounded from stress? I wish I read this before seeing my counselor, she would have appreciated it.<BR/>I often feel as if I am treading water, finally getting a rhythm then an anchor is tossed to me. How to stay afloat? <BR/>I am so sad that we live in such stressful times. Ohh to bring back a more relaxed slow paced lifestyle. Will things ever even out?<BR/>I am glad to hear Alex is on the mend or is he? If he is still throwing up daily, I would be worried. Our dear friend is a family physican here in Indiana. When his son started getting sick he was so stumped. No Doctor could figure out the problem. Dr. B was doing so much research and making so many calls around the world. They finally found a similar case for his sons problems (simular to your Alex perhaps, he couldnt keep anything down and was losing weight). I don't remember exactly what it was but once diagnosted, he got well quickly and is on the mend. It was one of those rare strange abdominal problem.<BR/>Anyway, sorry to ramble, again,<BR/>I hope tomorrow is better. You are in my prayers!janishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18424946398926069813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72316245999049873.post-41710295164490185472009-02-18T21:31:00.000+00:002009-02-18T21:31:00.000+00:00aw darling what an awful few days you have had and...aw darling what an awful few days you have had and so sorry to hear you aren't going to make Devon.<BR/><BR/>Hope Alex is better soon and pleased you can find ways to get rid of your stress.<BR/><BR/>Now do as Angela says and go and look after you..(((hugs))) xxDark Sidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041020755058214988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72316245999049873.post-8754080796305144902009-02-18T20:55:00.000+00:002009-02-18T20:55:00.000+00:00And now just go to sleep, my poor worn-out Mandy. ...And now just go to sleep, my poor worn-out Mandy.
