Beach "True Story"

So the other day I had court downtown.  I was so anxious that I paid no attention to where I was parking.  I walked off into an alley and came out the other side across the street from the court house.  I walked out from court on the "other wrong sided" of the building with my Atty talking and not paying attention.  All dressed up with 2" heal boots on to most this would mean nothing but for us with chronic back pain you know why I mention this.  I was LOST for 2.5hrs I walked around in pain, in tears, not knowing if I was coming or going.  My phone battery was dead/dying, I had locked my purse in the trunk, as to not have to carry it 'again a CP issue". I was at my end!   2 - hours and I could not take another step, i could not keep it together, I was bawling, stressed, in pain, embarrassed, just felt like a total looser that was going to die if I couldn't find my car.  I had nothing and no way of getting any help.  I had asked a few on the street but because of my crying and whinny voice they probably thought I was a crack head and were afraid of me because they just shook heads and walked away.  So the reason I am telling you all of this...

Reading your story brings laughter and tears to my eyes. I can relate to some of the story. I love walking (never in two inch heals) but I remember days when I would walk and just forget where I was. Then the though of going back when I was in pain from the walking made me think I would never do this again. Now I have gotten a little smarter BUT still get caught up in the moment. Now a days I have to plan my days and trips which limits where I WANT to go vs WHERE I WOULD LIKE TO BE. With those thoughts in mind, I have to pull out the energy to WANT to go to the same places I have been already and make something positive out of it, so usually I bring my music and hope it is going to be a nice day. I usually come out of it jammed with energy due to my music but sorry I could not share my day and energy with someone who would understand. At least I get the satisfaction out of it.
A wonderful story and it reminds me of a saying by Kahill Gabran called 'A tear and a smile'.

Just a quick note just logged on for a min or two between appointments here.  When My post are two long it just kicks me off with no  real reason.  Try breaking your post in half cut/paste kinds thing.  It worked for me after an hour of cutting my story down and not know why nothing I would post would actually show up.  I am not sure on the work count/Character count.  But it is a thought.  If you are using a smart phone or ipad it is really hard because I hve several hours of fustration under my belt on that one too.  So try smaller post and do several if needed just keep'em short.  Just a thought.

Lets, try this again., I am trying to post a message of support for this lady who is going through the stress of her life and what lies ahead of her. I posted this big long story of some of the issues that I experienced in my life but I guess that story was not to be for what ever the reason.
For now, I will just say that we are here for you and hope you can build the strength you need to deal with your situation and then tell us all about it. Your experiences that I have read have been inspirational to me and I look forward to learning what you have accomplished in dealing with this strength factor.
Look for you late when you have the time.

Sorry I have not been posting. After Thanksgiving I have had a serious flair up and my pain levels are very high, migraines are back with a vengence. So my appologies. I will try to post some positive and some more post.

Om I have been using and practicing your techniques and keeping and open mind body and spirit. Trying to focus on only the goo, only the positive. Madman I have been using your music therapy for at least an hour a day. With the migraines it has been hard, but I am working on it.  just wanted to post a quick note. Let you know I am reading bits here and there and working. Just please be patient with me. We have court again on Friday so keep me in your prayers for that and then a quick trip to AZ for my sister in laws 60 bday... 12 hrs there and 12 hrs back leaving Friday after court. Car trips are really hard on me so not sure how I will be when I return but will post and let you all know how it went.  Thanks again for your support.... Positive thoughts to come I promise.
