Fun. Remember that??

Well the week started off horribly but its ending quite nicely. Monday my car broke down and I spent the morning getting to a repair center. Later that day I learned that repairs would cost $400 and could very well go up to $1500. After consulting with my mom and step dad whom I still live with, we decided since my car is 5 years old and only worth $2500, no sense in putting the money into it. So we deciede that I need to get a new car. Well today was the day I picked it up. And let me tell you, for the past 3 hours I've been having fun, feeling happy, singing along with the radio. I hadn't felt that way for awhile now.

I'm hoping as I heal I can have more moments like this.

I can relate I bought a new car ( 1999 thats new for me) last year!!!! Nothing like having a car YOU KNOW will get you to where you need to be. have fun. PJ
 
Jason,

I remember getting a new car, and could not wake up early enough to take a drive somewhere.

These are moments that we should never forget, glad you got good folks,

yeah u r so right, fun is such an essential part of recovery, as it takes us thru our tough times and makes them bearable.
A sad movie was I loved best on a afternoon, where I could cry over the characters fate, but no more, but now I'd rather see a happy flick, to fill me up with enough cheer for the day.

That is why I have deliberately stopped identifying with all those sorry characters, feeling sorry for them doesn't help them or me.

At best I can be supportive by showing them the brighter side of life. That way I can also remain in focus of all the goodness life has offered me.

And yes being Thankful is the best and the fastest way to be happy!

Thank you, what a ride it has been!
 
Jason,

So right! I remember when I was still very apprehensive about how things were going - suddenly seeing that I was doing something for fun, and enjoying it (!!!), really helped me to see I wasn't a hopeless case.

It's good to remember that. Thanks for the reminder.

Much love,
Larry
