Those hormones must have really taken a nosedive. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for reminding me how much I have to be thankful for. You are definitely rooted and grounded in the Lord, or you wouldn't have breezed through that finger-wacking ordeal. <BR/><BR/>Hang on to your humor. And thank you for posting this. Who knows--it may have been written just for me?

I am inspired by the people in my life that make it a better place. And I am inspired by your story. Nothing is better therapy than the gift of laughter.

It's just that at that time, my usual method - keeping a gratitude journal - didn't work for me. I guess I needed to find a new way of thinking about things to help me reconnect with God.<BR/>KaraKara Lynn Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969966733322450599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770706349649072122.post-20897710122279765262009-01-06T20:29:00.000-08:002009-01-06T20:29:00.000-08:00What a wonderful idea, Kara.

I know there are a lot of people who have gone through trials I could not imagine or endure, but I truly believe that the Lord is there for us and wants us to be happy.<BR/>Blessings to you,<BR/>CamiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5770706349649072122.post-31082226240409363072009-01-06T18:42:00.000-08:002009-01-06T18:42:00.000-08:00Cami,Thanks for the inspiration!

One time when I went through a particularly tough patch in life, I found myself too resentful about what I didn't have to truly appreciate my blessings - no matter how many times I counted them! So I started collecting Bible verses and quotes about hope instead. I found that it took my mind off present misery and led me to visualize a brighter future. I keep the verses in a notebook and have read them over many times when I needed encouragement.<BR/>KaraKara Lynn Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969966733322450599noreply@blogger.com
