Trusting one another

"Anything that's human is mentionable, and anything that's mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we're not alone." ~Fred Rogers

There's a lot of sharing going on in the blogosphere and what a good thing it is. There's lots of stuff coming out all over everywhere! Again, that's a good thing. When you get it out and speak it, you can deal with it. Here in our little MM world of blogs, you can get the encouragement, advice and push you need. We never promised this would be easy...and it's not. We did promise that it would be worth it and it is! Keep plugging away, asking for help, pouring it all out and giving some back when you are able. That's why we're here. You are here in this process for a reason, don't give up on that, even if you don't know what that reason is yet. Continue to let everyone know what's going on inside so that we can help keep you going. When you get back going, reach out and nudge someone else along the way.

Y'all are such an awesome group!
Blog on!

What a great blog. You really made me start thinking. I do have reasons why I'm doing this--and some of those are painful (emotionally). But, with you and Mark and everyone else in the group supporting us all, I KNOW I'll accomplish my goal...

I don't think it could've been said better. I think it's so good to see how close some of us are becoming and the friendships that are developing. Thanks to you and Mark for everything you say and do!!! Blog on!

I agree that it's not easy but worth it. I have a few more pains and I really want to stay in bed sometimes, but I am starting to feel so much better!! If it were easy it wouldn't mean as much to cross that finish line and get that medal. I'm doing this for several reasons--one of them is ME!!
