Then 9/11 hit and living only 7 miles away destroyed me for a while. But then I found that I had to overcome a lot of things about myself that I'd been sweeping under the rug for years. I was at rock bottom. I couldn't not face things anymore. So those tragedies definitely did change me for the better... As for what's going on now... I think we start with ourselves and those close to us. We just keep perpetuating words and acts of love and togetherness. I'm in my office now writing because I don't want to see the news. I've seen it all and sometimes it's just too overwhelming and a lot of worthless "information".

Silver linings are important, and I agree tha...Yes. Silver linings are important, and I agree that dealing with the trauma of infertility somehow prepares you for worst case scenario type things. It's so hard to find positives in this election situation, because I feel like there's so much hate and division. I feel like I'm always either not angry enough or not hopeful enough and I can't make anyone happy with my response to this. I hope it's not as bad as I think it's going to be. I guess that's my infertility response to this, a constant stream of hope in the face of not a whole lot of reason to be optimistic (I refused to give up that Hillary had lost until she lost Pennsylvania at 12:30 am... I really and truly still thought it was possible until that point). I love your spray of rainbows, such a happy sight.

I'm not saying I'm not going to look, but finding them may have to do with how deeply affected you are by the events.

As devastating as it was at the time, now I wouldn't trade my experience with infertility for anything. It had a cost, but it has paid me back in ways I could never have imagined.<br /><br />Love the rainbows on the ceiling. And the quote you put with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
