What I wish is the ability to savor it when I feel it and not try to find ways to push it away.for a different kind of girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431273646365489225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17078165.post-28694840465355822222009-01-02T11:28:00.000-06:002009-01-02T11:28:00.000-06:00I am so glad you are feeling life now, that breath...I am so glad you are feeling life now, that breathing is not all there is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17078165.post-33801726982692681612009-01-01T14:06:00.000-06:002009-01-01T14:06:00.000-06:00What a beautiful, heartfelt and insightful post, P...What a beautiful, heartfelt and insightful post, Phyllis. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad that breathing brought you to life, so to speak.flutterbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17460436620025386593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17078165.post-56056035526936284052009-01-01T09:57:00.000-06:002009-01-01T09:57:00.000-06:00Someone had wondered to me before..."Do they actua...Someone had wondered to me before..."Do they actually care when they ask how you are? Do they listen for your answer, or just expect you to say <I>something</I> in passing?" I think of this <I>every</I> time I say hi to someone in passing. I want them to know that I do care, if I ask. And I want to know that someone cares when they ask. <BR/>I haven't quite gotten to the point you are at, where there is better life than just breathing. I am still trying to figure out how to do so... :)<BR/>Glad you are doing more than just breathing...Buttafly32681https://www.blogger.com/profile/16635230394371541503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17078165.post-17579320320934488362008-12-30T23:55:00.000-06:002008-12-30T23:55:00.000-06:00Living looks good on you!Living looks good on you!Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05302139430600014873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17078165.post-74722740022946331112008-12-30T16:13:00.000-06:002008-12-30T16:13:00.000-06:00thanks for delurking at my place. i am glad to he...thanks for delurking at my place. i am glad to hear you've re-entered the land of the living and certainly glad you never gave up breathing.limehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259558876349307173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17078165.post-81034827833589749152008-12-30T14:46:00.000-06:002008-12-30T14:46:00.000-06:00I am sooo happy that you're getting beyond the poi...I am sooo happy that you're getting beyond the point where just breathing is the best there is. I was there, and can so remember that feeling.

I would breathe. Often. Things happened that were completely out of my control and I would breathe. Things would happen that hurt me more deeply than I thought I would ever be able to survive and I would breathe. Take another step. Breathe.</I><BR/><BR/>That is an apt description of my life right now and for the last couple of years. Your post helps me hope that I too can get to a better place and say that I am living rather than just breathing.Trueselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04376379968984585345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17078165.post-47585678911036587042008-12-30T10:48:00.000-06:002008-12-30T10:48:00.000-06:00Sorry, I meant to say Congratulations on living!Sorry, I meant to say Congratulations on living!Kristi Ostlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08073529078605648826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17078165.post-8835156198117960972008-12-30T10:47:00.000-06:002008-12-30T10:47:00.000-06:00I came to the realization last week that my life i...I came to the realization last week that my life is pretty good. I've not been happy for many years. I've struggled with so many inward things. I've felt cursed. But I realized that self-inspection is priceless. A willingness to look inside yourself and get to the root of the whys and hows of who you've become is priceless. I realized that it's been a long, slow process. But slowly, light has entered my world. Not overnight. But in the tiniest moments, light has peaked in. And suddenly, I look around, and I see more light than ever before.Kristi Ostlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08073529078605648826noreply@blogger.com
