What motivated you today?

[Ptah]

For me, it was one of those e-mails.

I got an e-mail imploring me to send a Christmas card to ACLU.
The intent was to overload that orgination with 'Christian' Christmas cards.

I became a member of ACLU and am working on a list of what ACLU actually
does.

What was your motivation today?

1. What motivated me today, my dear Ptah.......

Was the very strong desire to be in charge of my own emotional state....

And the desire to feel happy......

I have been depressed lately, and I need to shed this and get back to my normal, sassy self........

And yes, I am in therapy too......

:hug:

[Ptah]

2. There is so much more to you than we see here.

Please know I hold you close.

:hug:

3. My dear Ptah.........

Your words touch my heart.....I thank you so much...

Indeed, there is much more to me than what you see.......

But rest assured that what you do see is genuine.

I feel you holding me close, and it warms me.......:hug:


On edit: Thank you for the beautiful rose!

4. Ptah is a good guy, and I am sure is a good friend to you. But remember,

he's not the only friend you have here. If he's unavailable, there are others you can call.

8. How true this is, my dear Redstone.........

And I just now spoke to you in your Makers Mark thread.........

I cannot and will not call you every time I get down.......it would not be fair to you.......

This is something I must really do for and by myself......

But I thank you so much!

:hug:

14. Did you take that picture? It's really good...

I like the top-to-bottom composition; it's a 'fresh' look for a flower photo...

[Ptah]

15. Yes, that is a picture of one of my mianiture roses.

Here's another one of my garden pictures:

10. I've been going through an odd time myself, CalPeg...

a great big hug for you. :hug: I may not know precisely what you're going through, but understand that someone is there for you.

Yes, you WILL be able to get over it. :)

11. My dear Writer.....

I thank you....I have avoided doing a big thread on this......but these little posts are good for me......

I know I will get through this.......it just takes time, and getting used to the situation as it currently exists.......

And lots of understanding of what caused me to get here in the first place........:hug:

12. Gosh do I know what you mean...

it takes me a while to open up on that scale in a forum like this, so I have relied on the most helpful feature, PM.

Which, by the way, you're welcome to do if you need to share more thoroughly.

Take care. :)

5. I like that reaction. I like it very much. Excellent motivation.

6. I pretty much went through a normal day until

I watched Keith Olberman's commentary.

I'm still blown away.

7. That was great.

That was the best commentary I have heard on the news this whole year.

Excellent piece.

13. I'm on dial-up and loath to click on any link.

What was the thrust?
