[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 5844750, member: 63856"] That was my biggest mental hurdle - letting go of the illusion that you get through life without being hit by something. I think that when I put the "happily ever after" myth to bed, was the day I began to get my life back. It is the best feeling you'll ever get, the liberation of no longer wishing to live forever, of dying tonight, of pleasing everyone else through your actions, of trying to maintain what cannot be maintained.... it might not be happily, it won't be for ever, but there can be an "after" "After", I soon found out, was near enough. It's a case of acknowledging what is real and what is not, sometimes. I had a pair of Paradise Shelduck breed on our little pond this year, the first day I saw their 6 offspring take to the wing - I sat under a big old pine tree and bawled for an hour or more. Life's like that, our "training" says it's not OK to cry when we see such beauty, or laugh at our fears - I let go of that, too. [/QUOTE]
