  Only allow hope that is grounded. No more soaring high to fall so far back.

  Periodically take time to remember what I’ve come through, reviewing all I’ve written or noted to remember. If I forget the priceless things I’ve been given to gleam along this hard path, then they will be just that…. price lost.

  Stop wasting time and life waiting for friends {or the ‘right’ people for my life and story} to have fun, go out there and make memories with just me. Enjoy the life I have right now!

  Watch things I love, dream about places I’ve loved, dive into stories and worlds and every daydream that’s ever given me strength to come back to my world fighting but still smiling as I do.

  Always try to be the kind of person who doesn’t let someone cry alone unless they chose it.

  Remember that cleaning is sometimes as fun as cooking but in it’s own way, so try that more when my spirits are hurting and need a pick me up.

  Sometimes remember to make it through the day gently and without getting stuck in overdrive. Let my health dictate what gets done and of what I let go.

  Remember where I've been, where I was going, where I want to go, and what I want to remember so I can take it with me into where I want to be.

  Make a new emotional boundary goal, not replying to emails when I'm tired, or not responding immediately to emotionally pressuring letters or voicemails, just something to prevent the life-threatening stress well-meaning people can be. sigh.

  Retreat from people and giving and emptying my hollow self. Invest, nurture, replenish, and rebuild knowing that only then can I give like my heart wants to. But I first must be whole and soundly so.
