Another beautiful post, where you share your hard-earned wisdom generously and inspirationally. Your writing is so graceful and your observations gently yet powerfully drawn.

I especially loved this line, "the faith that good things do happen all on their own, when I need them most and I don't need to force them...". I do not have a disability, nor do I have any tumultuous life experiences----despite this, i find myself getting too wrapped up in the minutia of life, and to only see what is around my little corner of the world. So much 'stuff' that just doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. The quote above really helps with my personal journey through life. The importance of breathing, pausing, reflecting---and not pushing, pushing, pushing for something you 'think' you want or need. Reading your blog continues to be a reminder of what is truly important in life, and how to have a healthy, positive, and pensive perspective on this one wild and crazy life.

I push myself to feel better, to be "normal" again, even when I know I'm not ready. Thank you for reminding me to be kinder and more patient with myself. Sending you good wishes, Sarah, and looking forward to your next post!Vihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17452644729282453954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6031485803458983078.post-34723434806031317822012-10-24T11:45:40.215-07:002012-10-24T11:45:40.215-07:00Such a great post!

I have...After reading this post, I had to comment. I have been struggling with exactly what you described--wanting to be who I was, expecting too much, feeling vulnerable and alone. I'm in a pit of depression and I couldn't figure out how to get out of that pit. As I read your post, I realized that your post is what I need. I need to read that things will be ok. That reality will be different, but just as good or even better. That I'm not a burden, and that I need to look at the good and not let the bad cover everything up. It's been hard because I was improving and have had a set back, which caught me totally off guard (because of my unrealistic expectations. I think) and sent me falling into that black pit. <br /><br />I'm glad I've found your blog and I need to remind myself to re-read your posts whenever I'm feeling less than good...so that I can turn around my black thinking and recover myself that much quicker.
