Wille, Tonight, after you brought my attention to the statement I had made....."This life, what a ride".  Being the literal person that I am, you helped me have the most amazing visual.  Seeing myself going down this massive roller coaster.....no rails in sight but speeding, barely able to hold on for dear life, myself.....yet in the craziness of not setting boundaries and trying to help those around me I was not only placing my arms outside the cart but my neck and head and legs as well.  I couldn't see where I was headed without talking to the maker of the ride, going to him in prayer.  Although my child like human mind thought I could drag on other riders (helping them), I had to face (and quickly) the fact that this ride isn't controlled by me, it's not even headed to a place I could have designed.  Which brings trust into the picture.  I would have drug others along with me more for my own security blanket then theirs.  Wow, wild visual.

Howdy Peggy, I finally got here - lol I use the mozilla browser and it is a funny thing. It's held to not transmit the internet worms that internet explorer is thought to carry. It does not make a straight on smiley face. Oh well. I am glad u r part of the recovery process. Thank you. You have very insightful shares you participate with in our meetings. I hope ya have a great one, eh? w
