I think you broadened your audience exponentially by including this bit. That's how <b>I</b> feel, so I can relate. I appreciate that you added it, even if it was as an afterthought.

I have had a few times where i sat and thought i just cant take this anymore .Mainly i get those feelings of complete hopeless-ness when i am sitting in a hospital after a bad bleed. And then i remind myself of that famous quote "this too shall pass" . I try to remember all the things that i CAN do, and want to do and WILL do , once i cross this bridge. Then i start to think of 3 people in particular that lost their lives too soon , and know that they would give their right arm ( so to speak) to be in MY position. Thats always a good reminder to myself that....All is not lost .
Thanks for posting this , it is touching.

I really needed to read this message tonight... It is something that I need to remind myself.. because I too am really struggling with many of the same things as a lot of ppl on here.. Even though things in my life are going really well.. I still have a lot of the same feelings and thoughts.... I also feel like the "journey is to great" and that sometimes I wish God " would take my life"

But I need to remember that God always has and always will give me "food for the journey" even when I don't deserve it..

THanks so much for the wonderful post

Well, i think if i was given a crystel ball, i would have been scared at some of it, amazed at some of it, and truly blessed and thankful by a great deal of it, which is what i try to remind myself of that every day.... Thank you for sharing, it's so good to read positive thoughts/feelings that people share w/ one another .... God Bless, Joni 55 y/o f w c/f
