some years ago, i visited a hypnotist in an effort to stop chewing my nails.
the habit had become so ingrained that i didn't even know when i was doing it.
well, i was a wiliing patient, and the lady hypnotist led me down into a beautiful imaginery garden, filled with flowers and birds where i could be at peace.
There are times when I have to really think about an event to remember if it was a dream or a reality. Some of my dreams are so real. I have had to do this several times recently. I can understand how you could mistake a dream for reality when you recall it years later, especially if you were having emotional troubles. The brain can do strange things sometimes.

today is my husband and my 51 anniversary.having a small party with some of our friends.
ex jw and worldly friends.
one daughter will be here.& one sent flowers.
Congratulations, that's an accomplishment worth 51 years of your life. I'm sure it was worth every minute of it. My wife's parents celebrated their 75th. aniversary together before they passed away. I hope you have many more.

Hi All,
After my look at the futility of life when you consider the future and my decision to live each day for it's value, I got this from a fortune cookie.
"You will never regret the present, you live to it's fullest."
I thought it was kind of strange.

we had a whole list of shows we were not allowed to watch including 'speed racer', you'll never guess why.
it was beacuse in the theme song it says "he's a demon on wheels" but then my mother was a jw fanatic lol.

We never had a TV but several of my family were projectionist in theaters including my dad, and myself when they were on vacation. I saw all the old movies from the 40s thru the 50s.

i've been in a strange mood lately.
i keep thinking what difference does anything matter.
in a few years we will all be dead anyway and anything we did won't amount to anything.
I think my problem is that my life has been so great so far that the realization that it will end shortly is so disappointing and I don't want to face the down side of old age and death.

Thanks for all the comments, some very good advice given. I'm just in a bad mood today, my wife is depressed and was crying today, my daughter(mother of Emily) has to have an operation soon, my son can't work because of a back injury, same for my brother-in-law, money problems all around, the news of someone randomly shooting people, the remains of the little girl from Virginia found near here and on and on it goes. I can usually take it pretty good but it got to me today. I'm going to try and find something good tomorrow and dwell on that.

I've been in a strange mood lately. I keep thinking what difference does anything matter. In a few years we will all be dead anyway and anything we did won't amount to anything. I guess I've been looking at the pictures that my mother left when she died too much lately. Almost all the ones in those pictures are dead now and I am heading down that path too fast.
The kids born now will just have to suffer through all the heart ache, war, sickness, struggling to make a living and then die.
Damn, I need to change to a different reality, but that is reality. It's very depressing. I can understand why some resort to mind clouding drugs and alcohol to try to stamp out reality, but that just makes things worse.
Could someone convince me this is not true? I need a hope for some future but the more I examine religion the more I realize it is evil and has caused humanity untold grief in so many ways.
I guess I need to take each day and find some pleasure and happiness and to hell with tomorrow.
Sorry for pointing out the down side of life.

got a copy of crisis of conscious 2nd ed.
on hold for me at a library.
will most likely be picking it up tommorrow after i get off from work.
A great book. You will learn the truth about the TRUTH. I let my brother read it and it got rid of the guilt he felt after being Dfd for a Christmas infraction. You won't want to put it down when you start reading it.
