Re: Being Sad and Vulnerable makes you Brave

Thank you for sharing that, and Im so glad you are feeling more normal. I agree that a day or two of getting away from everything and resting is sometimes the best medicine. I dont ever feel really normal anymore, but I have a "new normal". Because of my new normal, I don't get everything done like I used to. I usually have a list as long as my arm of things that need to be done, and some days it seem so overwhelming I don't even attempt it. But I have found that breaking it all done into small parts, baby steps if you will, helps me instead of looking at the whole overwhelming picture at one time. Each little baby step is an accomplishment...doing the laundry, paying the bills, etc.
I agree with you, we are all brave, we are all warriors. Its not really something I ever wanted to be, honestly. I just wanted to be mom and wife and have a normal life. I guess it wasn't in the cards for me. So I am honored to be considered brave, and honored to be amongst all the strong, intelligent, beautiful women I have met on this site.
Lots of positive energy and prayers headed your way that you continue to feel better and better each day.
