Toni Member Registered: 12/11/03 Posts: 504 Loc: Pennsylvania	In this the 21st Century, are there ways of coping that you would like to share with us? Ways that make your life and the life of others better, calmer, happier or more organized? If you do, just post them in this forum. It would great information and help us all... Thank you so much...

I feel the same here at Boomers. Less than a couple of years ago I wouldn't have joined this open mined and hearted group, I was so closed up inside BUT now that I can share it is so uplifting and enlightening to do so....I've always had alot to contribute just not the guts to open up until now...

Like you, I don't often open up with others but in the last year or so, I feel more comfortable to do so. This group of caring and encouraging women has helped me to be more open and it feels good to express my feelings...I haven't done this for a long time. You're so right about not holding grudges, it hurts the body and mind and accomplishes nothing. Letting go of anger and resentment helps so much; happiness and freedom step in and it feels so good, doesn't it? Thank you for sharing your thoughts; it helps us all! Toni

Even though the title forum can't be seen, it can be found when clicking on to Mental Illness. Didn't know about this until now...Sometimes, I'm a little slow... Anyway, keep those cards and letters..... Toni
