Putting Things in Perspective
Hello my friends,
This is my first blog on this site, but after reading an entry from a fellow chatter, I felt compelled to write something. As many of you know, I’m going through my own challenges right now, and I want to take this opportunity to say a heart felt ‘Thank You’ for all your kind comments and support. The thing is, in time I will get over it , heal and move on. Others may not or do not have that luxury. Maybe they are bedridden, or confined to a wheelchair, or maybe dealing with a serious medical condition, whatever. The point is that there is always someone, somewhere worse off than you. I try to keep reminding myself of that during this difficult time; it helps to keep things in perspective. We all have things in our life that we have to deal with, and it’s nice to have a site like this to help us through it.
Your words ring true for a lot of people. Working in a hospital i have seen many things. When i walk down the road and its raining i dont mind because i can walk down the road?
Yes, Val, at times we all go through something or other. I agree, there is always someone who is worse off, but at the time we are going through something, it’s difficult to focus on someone else. We are worried about ourselves and rightly so, after all, we have to deal with whatever is center in our lives. There is no avoiding it. Yet, it’s so comforting to know that there are people who will just let you vent if you feel the need to, with no judgement, just someone who will listen. xxx
Maybe I haven’t been paying attention, Val, but until now, I’ve been blissfully unaware that you had a problem, and I don’t like to ask, but whatever it is, I’m glad you know that you will get over it. All the very best to you. Tc, xx
Always people here to chat to if you ever feel the need. A lot of us have been through stuff and come out the other side. You take care Val.
Val you always appear so happy and cheerful, i love your mad dash to work greetings in the morning,don’t worry sweetheart you will get there, your to nice a person not to have a happy life ahead of you. Stay Positive….it will happen. xxxx
I have found that at times when I feel like I can’t go any further, I focus on someone else for awhile and it eases my own situation quite a bit. Somewhere I find the strength and courage to move forward. Whether it is perspective or not, thinking of others does help all concerned. Bless you, and keep your head high. Love, Jackie xxx
You certainly have the right attitude and will indeed get through the tough times…we do.. might not seem like it at the time, but somehow most of us make it. As you say, having friends is so important and many here will listen and give the odd hug or two…. I also think of others who are not able to cope for one reason of another and it does put things in perspective – stops me feeling sorry for things I can’t alter. Fortunately I’ve made it through, but more than understand the down-times. ((((((((((hugs))))))))) available here anytime……Lina xxx
