It seems that as I buried my past, it was all or nothing. Now that I am recovering memories surrounding my surrender experience and validating my past, I am also recovering the happy times. My perspective on the past was clouded... what's that song? "I Can See Clearly Now, The Rain is Gone"....
I think we all need to get outside and go for a brisk walk in the cool evening air and clear our heads... and maybe that takes a day or two, or a week or two. Anybody up for a virtual walk 'round the block? We can have tea at my place afterward...

Hi Susan,
I can acknowledge all that you have said above. I think we had a little 'chat' in the PTSD thread too about same subject. Validating the past... yes that's a nice feeling and that's where I am at at the minute. Its good to feel that life is starting to have colour and meaning instead of the drifting fog of nothingness that the past 3 decades has brought.

I don't think I could have put it better, that is such a good way of expressing it. Talking of a virtual walk, yesterday and today have been beautiful. The air is crisp with cold and the sunshine and blue sky is gorgeous. The leaves have fallen, and life is good. I love this time of year. Time for the woolly hat, the scarf, the snuggling up indoors after a walk in the cold, feeling the cheeks flush and enjoying the sunshine... in more ways than one!!
Lets take a walk, and yeh, tea around your place Susan! I'm happy to have coffee or maybe we can have a hot homemade soup with some crusty favourite bread... yum!!!
Time for a group
me thinks! Take care!!!
