But, you know, I have a self, who needs a little bit of help sometimes...who doesn't, really? Vics, I'm glad you stopped by! Sometimes I feel like I’m walking the self-help line here myself.

Ugh.. I sound all self-help preachy now, but what I mean is, i know the whole PMA thing isn't a cure - but it's the first step in the right direction, whatever the illness, depression and negativity only make it worse, positive thoughts mean there is a ray of light and the door is open.. um.. I'll stop now before I mix too many metaphors and sound even more loopy.. Just swung by via MBL and had to comment - keep up the good work, i reckon you'll be talking to random strangers on the street before long *hugs* There’s a saying I try to adhere to: “think of the solution instead of the problem” positive thinking is really important, it strengthens you and bolsters confidence, hope is what gets you through the day sometimes and hope is probably the most positive thing we have.

I see it everywhere. Like when you buy a new car, thinking "nobody has this car in this color" and then suddenly you see your car everywhere, everyone has it? I hear about suicide everywhere. But your post made me realize that the reason I hear it everywhere is because I'm now expecting it everywhere, looking for it everywhere - and maybe if I quit visualizing all of that negativity, I wouldn't be hearing about suicide every time I turn around. It is my available parking space that I can't see right now. You are a beautiful writer. Thank you for sharing all of this.
