Last night was quite rough. I felt so small, I could've done chin-ups on the curb!
Reading your posts made a BIG difference in my ability to pull-up out of the hole I slipped into. Since you are all familiar with what I'm going through, I feel as if I can trust what you say and know your intentions are genuine.
I was reminded of an event from when I was about 7 years old. It was my first time taking a public bus home on my own. My mom gave me instructions to get off as soon as the bus made its first left turn. Unfortunately, she forgot the first left actually occured several stops before my destination. I got off at the wrong stop. As soon as I realized the mistake, I panicked and cried in the busy street--I was 10 cents short of another bus fare--lost and terified.
A woman stopped and asked what was wrong, and gave me a dime to get back on the bus. I'll never forget Mrs. Sands' deed and her image is forever etched in my mind's eye. Regardless of what happens, my faith in human kindness remains intact since that day--your posts confirm my belief--thanks.
