The Things I Cannot Change

The most painful things in life are the ones over which we have absolutely no control. They are the ones that hit you so hard in the gut that it knocks the air out of you and all you can do is stand there and take it. It is what it is... there's nothing you can do about it... it can't be changed.

Sometimes the victory isn't making progress... it's just trying to keep from being completely annihilated.

Yup, sometimes just showing up is a victory in and of itself.

You are dealing with all this stuff -- good for you! Better than not dealing with old baggage, at least in the long run. Hard now but easier on you and those that care about you in years to come. Small consolation during today's tears, I expect -- but you are stronger than you give yourself credit for, and you've got lots of people around to you to help! We're willing to stand in front of you to give you a hand up, next to you for shoulder to cry on, or behind you to give you a good swift kick grin

Thanks, B :) A girl couldn't ask for a better set of friends.
