RE: Random Thought of the Day - The Difference Between Victims and Survivors (as I see it)

Never mind why you decided to write this, it's absolutely brilliant. I admire your stack of wood, but even more I admire your ability to see and define this so clearly. Very wise. I have read your introduction and I realized that it was one of the first posts I read when I started with steemit, I didn't even know how to do anything so you never got my upvote. I remember how I thought you must be a special kind of person to turn such bad times to something so different. I think you are beyond brave.

Your comment really touched my heart. It's the first time I've ever written anything like this, so outta the norm for me.

I wish I would have held back on my introduction post. It was the first thing I posted and I had no followers and didn't understand it was only active (monetarily) for a week. Life's all about lessons. What we do with them is the question. Thanks for taking the time to write me.

I felt so strongly about what you wrote. That's the kind of wisdom people would pay for. I didn't see anything wrong in what you wrote in your introduction, I found it to be an inspiration. One that stays with you. I think we worry to much about fitting in to everything. I have been writing a post about myself since I started with steemit, I haven't gotten to the point were I have posted it, and maybe I never will. It takes courage to share something about yourself.

In my advancing years (64 as of now) I tend to not worry about what others think of me and live my life back here in the woods as I please. I sure wish I had started thinking like that a couple decades earlier. It's wonderful, it's freeing, it's beyond satisfying. I can't say enough about just being who I am and not giving a flip what others think.

That sounds so great! I'm still working on that, but I will get there :-)
