In fact, it's a sign of health when one senses a need to reach out, and takes action. It was nice to see you at Penned, and I wish you a creative and inspired time ahead.

I too had to seek help for the awful D word and I hated myself for it, for not being the strong super woman several people in my life believe me to be. <br />I was broken and sought out help. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done; to admit that I actually did need help, that I can't deal with everything on my own.<br />Good on you for finding the strength to admit there was a problem and seeking the help you needed. I hope you continue to grow and find yourself and stay happy with the person you are. Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00009037187023989322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173481615520218510.post-87748775157669253182016-09-29T07:27:07.506-05:002016-09-29T07:27:07.506-05:00Thanks for sharing Ethan.

I came away with a number of new mantras. Here are two that I see you've picked up as well:<br />1. Regret is like a venom that slowly poisons you from the inside out. Rather than dwell, accept, and learn from your mistakes. If you don't, one day, you'll end up bitter and alone, for others cannot help you shoulder the burdens you refuse to let go of.<br />2. Every day brings something new and wonderful. At the moment your mind becomes active, before you even open your eyes, remember that you get to find the wonderful in a new day.<br /><br />Sending you hugs and lots of light. I just know the next year is gonna kick butt and take names. :) If you need help with anything, you know where to find me.Jo Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02005237887461809640noreply@blogger.com
