Here alone. Everyone's out drinking. Fighting depression. Just had to jump on to go through the exercise of writing down what I keep telling myself.
I chose not to go to the party. My choice. I can choose to be happy. I can choose serenity. I can declare independence from her disease and mine. I can enjoy what I chose to do instead, right here, right now - that is also a choice. I can come here and write a few words to the only people I know that could possibly understand them - that's a great choice. I can be grateful that they're here to listen and understand - that's a given.
Hi almost there Good to hear from you. I am happy that you made some constructive choices as to how to spend your time and gain additional "independence" from this dreadful disease . I am going out for a walk and to hear the fireworks shortly. Walks help me appreciate nature and to pray. Enjoy your time with you. You are special . Maybe writing an asset list will convince you of this . :)
Yes Almostthere! you can choose to spend the day however you want - it doesn't have to be going along to get along. Happy July 4th!

Yes I completely understand what you're doing. Good choice.
I choose for my own peace. I'm having a good day, and I hope you are, too.
This is directly the result of my immersion in my program thinking. Completely worth it.
I'm fighting the depression tonight as well. No desire to go to parties. Took a nice shower, now listening to the fireworks with the dog in bed. I hope to catch something good on TV. You are all in my prayers. This site is a lifesaver for me. Happy Independence Day!
