Guest guest Posted January 24, 2000 Report Share Posted January 24, 2000 This is , I just want to say thank you to all of those who continue to remind me to stay positive in my thinking. I have had a really hard time lately and was down. I need to grieve the loss of my abilities and let it go. I need to allow myself to grow in a positive spirit. I need to be reminded from time to time to remember the negative as a challenge. That negative is like a slippery rock I accidently fall on while crossing a stream. There is a choice here: to stay down in the cold water and continue feeling sorry for myself or I can get up, put on dry clothes and replace the slipppery rocks. So with your help, I am placing new stepping stones over that stream that I never wanted to cross in the first place. Then when I am across on the other side of this wretched stream I will find medows full of flowers showing me a new world where my challenges have turned into rainbows full of hope to share. I know when I concentrate on others then my pain no longer seems so strong. So for today- one step at a time I will concentrate on someone else. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2000 Report Share Posted January 24, 2000 , What a beautiful analogy. You have taken an important step in finding a mental image that will help you focus on living AND THRIVING with CMT. Hope you continue to let us help you cross that stream and reach your beautiful meadow. I know you will be a help to us!
