most of us here at one time or another probably lose sight of just what we are doing. as an old friend reminded me today-"you deserve a damn medal just for SURVIVING this long given your childhood/battles/etc". and i extend the same sentiment to the bulk of us here. NEVER FORGET that you ARE improving although it may not seem like it imminently. the courage to deal with the hand we've been dealt is gargantuan in the extremis. DO NOT be put off by those who due to circumstances WILL NEVER understand where you've been nor where you will go. it is not those who have had sanity held out to them on a silver platter that history remembers. rather it is those of us who must FIGHT LIKE HELL day in and day out who will make the greatest impact on our world by continually working to make an impact on ourselves through dedicated self-awareness and growth. above ALL else-remember that you are NOT alone-remember also that with each new hand at the oars the night we paddle into becomes less opaque.
