Mellie's post
Just feeling the need
I don't blog often but today I am feeling the need. I am no stranger to adversity - I know it makes me stronger - but today I just want to cry and let all of my emotions process and flow through me - but my girls are here ..so this is the next best thing.I am doing my best to focus on positivity with each day. To stay firm in my truth, my beliefs, my needs, my goals, and my purpose. Its interesting that the stronger I get the more tests I face. But it really is ok, I see their value to my life so I am grateful. All and all it makes me grateful for my health, for the moments of peace I feel in my heart that make me so incredibly grateful for the many blessings placed so perfectly in my life, for the lessons I've learned here on T.com to cope with the tests - for me its about placing energy in the right places, choosing my battles, keeping my joy and my power. Without these tools my life today would be a much different story so I am so so grateful.
My battles are nothing compared to what Catharine and so many others are facing so I have nothing but gratitude to express. Life is so precious I choose not to waste moments that I can never get back. As Lynn said, time lost is time lost forever ~ I don't want to live in regret so I will remember that as I go through each moment of each day.
Thank you for being a non-judgemental community, of loving caring people all working together with common goals in our hearts and in our minds. We are all so strong ~ together we are even stronger.
I hope you all see the blessings in this day for you. Let that be where YOUR energy flows.

You have opened your heart for us all, sweet Mellie! I love you, and appreciate you...sending you mega HUGS...with STARJUMPS of JOYous GRATITUDE for putting all your heart and soul into transformation. All my Love, Diane xox
I lost so many moments in my life by being self-centered and in my addictions that I will never get back and that is sad t me. BUT I now realize how blessed and grateful I am to be where I am in my life and I have learned in good and bad times so I can't regret that. You are right in everything you say and I love learning from you. You have changed and helped so many lives including mine I will be forever grateful to you for that and you are a gift from GOD to me...Love Ya !!!
I agree Mellie, life is about tests and how we choose to take them! You are the perfect picture of GRACE under fire and I appreciate all that you do for me and all of us..You Bless so many lives and always feel free to let us be your strength and lift you up! Love and Blessings to my very first friend on T-Comm..Because of you and many others I endured~
Mellie ..you have been on my heart and mind lately. I (like) you are going through some really big things in my life. But you know Im cant believe the Strength I m feeling...I know its God and its God that is carrying you. I have decided Im going to engage joyfully in life despite my adversity that is coming my way. My van broke down..Im about to separate from my hubby ( we are going to be together on weekends only)eventually in August. I dont want a divorce I just want to Be Loved. I think he has bipolar and my daughter does too we think. Nathan is doing amazing and he gives me so much joy. WE can allow the lemons to make us bitter or better and I know you are STRONG and you are deeply loved by this community and by Me and your precious children. YOU are LOVED! YOU are Special and the world is a better place cause you are here! I love you Mellie! Live love outloud! Mwah Shari
Sending you extra-special hugs today!! Paul xo
I hope you feel better. One thing I know, your pain is your pain, and you are entitled to feel those emotions. But you are so right, life is precious! Thank you for the reminder! Hang in there! Sorrow may last through the night, but joy comes in the morning!
Lovin' you girl!! So much love, prayers and gigantic hugs being sent your way today!! Smiles, Renee xxxooo
Mellie I agree with what you said (Thank you for being a non-judgemental community, of loving caring people all working together with common goals in our hearts and in our minds. We are all so strong ~ together we are even stronger.) And also what Lynn said too. (time lost is time lost forever) If you ever need to get away to take some time to regroup and destress, My home is your home and the door is alway open for you. We could hike the woods and kayak, Oh yes and shop too!!! Hugs, Wendy
Hi Mellie, I think a lot of us have days like that! Most of us would not admit. You were the first one to offer any help I might need. Perhaps not a big thing for you but it was for me. You also introduced me to Paul (Gloomraider). That single thing alone will endear you to me forever. He is top shelf and has been where I was, maybe worse then where I was. After more then 40 years I let some of the memories out and now a man I have never seen has become my dearest confidant . If there is any way I can support you or help you I will. Hang in there ~Greg
That is a wonderful post Mellie. I grew up thinking that beautiful people, successful people never faced problems. That those bad thing were reserved for people like me who are overweight and not in the 'beautiful' people category. That mind set caused me to fail more times than not and I began to believe I would be better off dieing. Thank you for sharing and caring, thank you for being you and being willing to share your struggles with us. God Bless you. Jess
You are always here for so many of us with a word of praise or a comment to make us feel better, You are a wonderful person and I am happy to be on this venture with you, Best Wishes.... Larry
