So True - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

wingsfree · 10-27-2003, 05:53 AM

You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.

1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. You are special and unique.

8. Someone that you don't even know exists, loves you.

9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

10. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look.

11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

I needed to read this today! Thanks for the post Denise. Number 11 was a great reminder too.

mountaingirl · 10-27-2003, 05:59 AM

wow!
Hey Denise -see that you're on and thought I'd go find you! I've never checked out this thread!
Thanks for those truths above.
Yesteday I was at a sporting event with a lot of people I didn't know and this thought came to me: What would I fall in love with about that person? It was a fun game to play in my head. I realized (again) that everyone is so unique. And we have so much in common.
How are you today?

wingsfree · 10-27-2003, 06:02 AM

((((Tammie))))) you're welcome.

(((((Mountaingirl)))))) you're welcome. That looks like it would be a fun game. Yepper we are all unique, and still the same in so many ways.

I'm so so, thanks. How's life treating you?

mountaingirl · 10-27-2003, 06:06 AM

Hmmm, so so also.

Life is treating me well actually, I'm just driving myself nuts despite that fact.

wingsfree · 10-27-2003, 06:09 AM

We need to change this so so thing, don't you think? I tend to drive myself nuts also, and it seems to be getting to be a shorter drive, hahaha.

Hey keep your chin up there dear girl. We will be ok. We all have one another to lean on here when the going gets tough...smiling at you mountaingirl.

mountaingirl · 10-27-2003, 06:13 AM

smiling back

Let's do something today that makes it better than it would have been. Come back later and tell me what you did, ok?

(((hugs to denise)))

wingsfree · 10-27-2003, 06:16 AM

Leaving for work in a few minutes, but that sounds like a good thing to do. I will work on it mountain girl, thanks for that. I'm looking forward to seeing what you've done yourself.

(((((hugs back mountaingirl))))

~Mountaingirl~ What a great idea!! I think I'll join ya all in this, if you don't mind..will let you know later today what I have done to make the day more fulfilling and unique. I think doing something new, something different is a good way to feel better. I have started by playing some celtic music. It helps me to reflect and go within quietly. Talk with ya all later!!!!!

mountaingirl · 10-27-2003, 06:43 AM

ooo, good one Tammie! Wish I had some celtic music!

Yes -- please join us! It will be fun to check in later and see what we came up with.

I feel better already.

2stop · 10-27-2003, 06:49 AM

Hey. go over to live365, there's a free membership, sig up and you will find many celtic stations to listen to while you are online..It's totally awesome the selection!!

wingsfree · 10-27-2003, 01:14 PM

Hi mountaingirl. Well what I did might not sound like much, but it made me feel good. A real close friend of mine who I work with has had something bad happen to her almost two years ago. Anyway I did help her when she needed it most. Oh if you all ever met her you'd love her, um well she does speak her mind and such, but I wouldn't have her any other way.

Oh great now I'm starting to ramble on here. Anyways today when we were working, I stopped went over to her and told her how much I love her, not that she's not aware of it, but I've never came right out and told her before. (and I also mentioned it wasn't anything kinky, hahaha) She responded back telling me she loves me too, was a moment in time.

Thanks for suggesting this mountaingirl, should be a daily thing I'm thinking here.

(((((mountaingirl))))))

Will wait to see who's next, what you've done today.

Love and hugs......Denise

mountaingirl · 10-27-2003, 06:15 PM

Ok Denise ....
You'll have to read between the lines here -
What I did to make my day better was I spent some *quality* time with my hubby! It made his day better too

now i'm blushing...

2stop · 10-27-2003, 06:23 PM

Get it girl!!!!!! :p if hubby had been home let me tell you he would have been spending some *quality* time with me too. Therapy!

What I did instead today was to just relax..and work on not feeling guilty about letting some housework and other projects go. Just spent lots of time being comfortable with me..someone I am learning to really like.

I love doing this!! We'll have to check in every day girls!!!!

mountaingirl · 10-27-2003, 07:09 PM

Sounds great Tammie! Thanks also for the link to the celtic music! It played in my house this morning!

2stop · 10-27-2003, 07:30 PM

So glad you were able to enjoy it! I love to relax with celtic music. Want to take my daughter to see the RiverDance when i get well enough to work and to drive again!!
