Insecure Writers' Support Group and Some Gratitude and I'm Totally Blitzed

THANKS TO NINJA ALEX CAVANAUGH
Just a touch of InsecurityMight detract from my Maturity.Some days my prose soars to the sky.Then on others it might well die.If I could only surely say That the muse was here to stay,You would never hear my childish screams,And I would sleep in bundled dreams.



THANKS TO SHERI LARSONIt has taken me over three months to come back to a center where I feel somewhat stable. My mom's death and my son's accident coming at the same time, threw me off in many ways. First, I didn't have time to think about my mom not being here. I was so steeped in making trips to the hospital to see my son and talking to doctors that I often forgot my mom entirely. Then one evening, when I usually called to check in with her, I picked up the phone to say hi. Only to tell myself I couldn't call her because I'd have to tell her about her grandson, and that would upset her. It a few moments before I knew that wasn't reason I couldn't call her.


My gratitude is that my son has improved and that doctors feel he will continue to do so. My gratitude is that I have a caring supportive family and friends. My gratitude is that I can appreciate what I have and not dwell on what I do not. THANKS DL HAMMONS
