    It's kinda mad how much thought, money and effort some women have to put into getting pregnant, when for most the main consideration is just deciding the most convenient time to have a child

    My knee. Ow!!! There is a pipe leaking in the wall or under the floor in the hallway downstairs in my building, creating a big puddle in the carpet. I slipped on it and went down HARD, and my knee is really hurt - hope it's not as bad as it feels right now!

    That sucks!

    I recently had a similar hope - I hoped my injured ankle was just badly sprained. Nope. It was broken. Heading in to my third week in the cast and on crutches now.

    The X-Files has gone utterly off the rails in season 11, it's mental! Loving the blatant slagging of Trump though, few have gone there so openly

    Sorry to hear that.  I hope you both heal quickly.

    My brother, Jimmy, died 13 years ago today. 

    No matter how much time goes by,  I am still brought back to the police coming to my home and the surreal events that followed. 

    Telling my mother was probably the most excruciating thing I have ever done. At least my sister was still alive and we could go through it together. 

    I wonder why they were taken so young, I never thought I'd go from the middle child to an only child. I always thought I'd have my siblings through this period of my life and I am jealous of people who have their siblings. 

    Love you, BroJ

    Oh no!! That sucks, I'm sorry to hear. It's terrible to lose mobility, even temporarily. I'm definitely not that bad. Just bruising and pain.

    I live a life surrounded by books. It is what I talk about. They introduce me to cultures, epics and relationships. It is a good life.

    Some experiences never leave us, for better or worse.

    I'm sure the pain was especially tough yesterday; hopefully today is a bit better :hug:

    I agree. Our lives are split by creating our lives catering to it, and creating lives that deny it.

    Thank you @hedonist & @Ms. Haiku  - I miss my  brother, and my sister's death i(September) is at times unbearable. 

    But you learn to live with pain - everyone has their own tragedies. We all carry our own lifetime of darkness and light. 

    I love a quote from the Big Book about acceptance and when I am in tune with it, it makes so much sense...

    "And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation - some fact of my life - unacceptable to me. 

    And I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed  to be at this moment. 

    Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in God's world by mistake. 

    Until I could accept my alcoholism, I could not stay sober.  Unless I accept life completely on life's terms, I cannot be happy. 

    I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed  in me and my attitudes.." 
    pg. 449

    Take away the God element if you wish and take away the alcoholism if it does not apply. The rest of the quote is so accurate, yet sometimes so hard to actually accept - and acceptance is the answer. 

    Forgiveness is something I am not ready to touch. But I am trying to accept and then incorporate the bumps in life - be they large or small - into the person that I am. I am not the same person as I was before many things happened. But I can strive to be the best person - the version of me that I have become. 

    And when I am not such a good version, I need to be kind to myself until I pull myself up again. Just like everyone else does. 

    Peace and love :peace:
