I understand how you feel -- not seeing what you have...and it is so hard to do that...sometimes, I have to stop myself (usually when I am anxious and having a panic attack) and think that I am so grateful for all the wonderful people I have in my life....and I think of the love I have and try to surround myself with that...I know this may sound like it's impossible -- there are many days where I don't even see it...It comes and goes...Despite of all the things that I am grateful for, my anxieties 'win' most of the time...:-( But I am trying to get back up....I know it will take time, but as you wrote once, "this too shall pass..."

When we grapple with our difficulties, they lose their hold upon us. When we dare to face the things which scare us, we open the door to freedom. -- author unknown The one thing over which you have absolute control is your own thoughts.

That's where the magic begins. -- Lucinda Bassett The antidote to fear: you must make a decision to have FAITH, knowing you've done all you can to prepare for whatever you're fearing, and that most fears in life rarely come to fruition. -- Anthony Robbins If you look closely at your own life, you will realize that you are sending signals to your body that repeat the same old habits of yesterday and the day before.
