What Does Your Screen Name Mean?

Barby Sue,
I totally agree with you. It sounds corny, but people need to learn to stop & smell the roses. Otherwise all they will ever smell is the "poop" of life. I heard last night that the 2nd NFL player from the same team has died in a murder/suicide situation since their traing camps started this year. This one left a very small child with no parents. These are the people who have money & we all believe they should be happy. Well, I guess we see money doesn't guarantee happiness. We either have to learn to appreciate all our blessings, big & small or we can become so unhappy like this that we do not want to live. Even with my pain, life is just too good to think of ending it. Getting off my soapbox now,
Hugs, Jane

I have to add my two cents. I had a mental breakdown about 4 years ago. In recovering we have found pleasures in simple things. Playing with the puppies and kitties at pet stores or at the animal shelters. Watching a movie we have seen a 100 times just so we can see our favorite part again. Taking a walk down that certain street just so you can see the neighbors flowers. I know it all sounds silly, but these are the things that I learned to take joy in after my breakdown. To this day we still get down to the basics when one of us is over stressed. Living simple, and as stress free as possible has made our lives so much more happy.

Amen. BarbySue. can't agree with you more. i did not have any breakdown per say. but it was very difficult at time when too many people (all relative which you have no choice to select) on demanded here and there. this and that......I was lucky don't get any breakdown?
