*It took me 20 years in therapy to say this "we". :)
 

Dear one, love the picture, your words are too very kind and meaningful. Thank you and right back at you dear!

((((Marj))))
 

So, so grateful for you, too, today. And grateful for the post right before this one. I had similar crud happen to me too. Couldn't figure out why I was having panic attacks recently when singing on stage with choir . . . but duh . . . it was "being on stage" all over again. Sigh. Another hill to climb. But alas, the inbreaking of Christ this season if proof He can break into any situation and save us. I will cling to that and pray for you today, too. And merry, merry Christmas, dear one!
 

Marj, you've got my support and friendship as long as you keep in contact with me. :-)

Gosh... I think we're going on about 3 years now of being blogging buddies..I think you just might be stuck with me. :-D
 

Thank-you Marj. I am grateful for your friendship too.

Thank-you.
 

A commercial comes to mind...

"Thanks! I needed that!"

What a sweet and loving "gift" of yourself to those of us who find you very special, Marj... Hope your holidays remain trigger free... and if that should not be the case may the wonders of the season bring you the peace you deserve. Love and best wishes for a glorious new year!

Wow, Mile! I love how you said this: "love that is bound by a friendship formed from unfortunate circumstances growing to a beautiful bounty." Awesome! And I totally agree. Take care, my friend.
