I enjoyed reading your post. Reminds me of something I've heard said, over the years in my personal 12 step fellowship: This being: "God, Time and AA". I recognize I could just as easily think and put into action, "Love, Time and PTSD Healing & Coping," to help remind and motivate myself to think positive, maintain hopefulness, and personally attend to and get busy with what's important in life, be it what it may.

Marilyn, if you don't mind me asking, what's the name of the book you read. I'd like to own it. I'd say read it but that would come in time. Truth is I'd like to read it, but I can't always have what I'd like right away. You probably understand, you're a parent too. Not a serious complaint here either. Overall, I'm very glad I'm a parent. And, on that note: Marilyn, I hope you have yourself a Happy's Mother's Day.

We hope to be going to the zoo.

I'd agree, yes Love is most definately healing.

Marilyn, I'm glad you feel a lot better! And, I do hope you don't mind me posting to your trauma diary.

You take care, and really you're doing great. I would've quoted more of your post bc really I thought it was quite postive and as I said enjoyed it, but not necessary.

Also, what you said about your trauma, gave me the creeps.

I know that saying I'm so sorry this ever happened to you doesn't count for much of anything, given the full reality of trauma and PTSD, but I am truly sorry, Marilyn. Speechless now.

(((Love & Hugs, Marilyn))) ......sincerely, goingonhope
