Hi Nogard - Grateful I'm here at SR too - maybe you saw this quote already that I put on another thread -"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience." Eleanor Roosevelt
I like that "without fear" - quote kind of goes with your signature.

I am grateful too.

I am so amazed at what hanging around this board has done these few days. I feel so compelled to give encouragement and kind words. And I really am truely concerned with these posts. Usually I could care less what anybody else is about. I feel like I am getting back to the me before addiction. It feels so good. I feel like I am finding the real me again. and it's about time because I have been lost for so long.

Ok now I'm crying. Thanks again all of you.
now I feel sappy.

Grateful it is still Sunday here lol.

Aurura, what is the dragon?

Not feeling physically well, actually, I am ill .

I was supposed to help my mom today, and when I called her, she said I was addicted to my PC!

That smarted!

Anyhow, I expained, and she understood, but it still hurt.

Funny how our folks can make us feel like tiny wee ones in a matter of a second.

Grateful I understand some old folks do not trust these newfangled gadgets.

Grateful my niece brought her a Sunday dinner from her church.

Grateful, so grateful she is still with us.

Love,

IO

Feeling rejected, but I know I can talk to people about this and that it will pass and that the feeling is one from my childhood.

Grateful for this.

Kevin

Grateful that Kevin was or had been here this morning. Made my heart smile.

I am feeling a little bit of a sting right now as well Kevin.
I had some rejection feelings myself this week AND my ex "very significant" other is marring someone else today. ouch!

We are not alone...it will pass.
