What is the best thing anyone ever said to you?

Once, as a young single mum, I was being totally overwhelmed. Trying to earn a living, look after my little one (who had ADD) ... I felt like I was being crushed under the pressure. A kind friend (though one I did not know all that well) gave me his time one evening, and listened to all my frantic, desperate crying. I have to say, though, I felt particularly guilty for unburdening myself on this one, because I knew he had had a very hard time himself, in his own life. When he left he said, "I have written down my phone number for you. Call me any time if you need to."

I thanked him, but didn't look at it until after he left. As well as his number he had written:

"Some people pride themselves on never falling. That's shit. It's the getting up again that counts."

I never did call him, but his words have inspired me always, whenever I feel like I'm falling. I just have to find the courage to get up again, and that is enough (even if I don't feel in good shape!).

 Anyone else want to share their best advice?

 Oh, absolutely: "Everything is gonna be all right", that is the one thing everyone needs to hear!

I like Dire Straits, too, when I'm down:

"There's always laughter after pain
There's always sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now ..."

Nicole!  My first name is Sharon!  Tish is a nickname from my middle name, Patricia.  Did you know that?  And thank you for that lovely compliment!

Hi, Nicole!

Did I understand you right - you said your mum's name is Sharon?

My Dad told me he chose my name from the Bible: the Rose of Sharon. (He used to be a lay preacher before I was born, and he knows the Bible very well.) Anyway, I was looking through my dictionary one day for something else, and I saw there was an entry for the Rose of Sharon. It said it is another name for the plant St John's Wort.

St John's Wort is a herbal remedy for depression!

Isn't that funny? Tell your mum that she is most true to her name!

 That is so amazing! She was a Rose of Sharon too!

Red roses are my favourite also, but being the symbol of loving relationships I always thought this was a bit of a lack of imagination on my part! What I find sad, though, is that you never seem to come across roses with any scent any more. It was their scent that was so heavenly! If I buy incense sticks or scented oil, I choose Rose.

But if I buy flowers these days, I usually buy Freesias, as they still have their lovely scent, and they were my grandmother's favourite.

Is the "Rose of Sharon" connection an example of the Law of Synchronicity in your life, do you think? As far I remember, the reasoning behind it went something like: "There are things that happen that would seem to be unconnected, and yet they contain a series of coincidences so bizarre that to assume no connection exists is even more mind-boggling. Therefore maybe there is a connection between the unconnected which is working to draw such things together ..."  Something very strange like that! An attempt to explain the unexplainable!

Tish u have the exact paragraph about that Law of Synchronicity?? Because someone else also told me that word & I have been trying like hell to find the exact meaning of it. If u find it, why dont u make a new post in the "General Discussion" sub-forum.

I'm not really sure what to say here, I'll need to ponder over it just a bit longer.

When I was 18 someone told me to Listen all the time. It was awesome advice because as I went I started to hear more and more inner guidance that has helped me quite a bit. If I was caught up in that mental mind clutter where I am arguing or narating in my head all the time...I would be lost. Often its best just to listen....get your bearings and move onward.
