At this point in my recovery from PTSD, I sense anothe attitude change, as yet unnamed, taking place inside my mind, and as this is the first time that the puzzling nature of subcinscious mental re-organization feels strangely relaxing rather than anxiously taxing, I'll not be surprised to find myself posting little more than a thought or a quote that speaks to me of deeper truth until the story-teller, snoozing within, awakens feeling so refreshed as to ignite my eagerness to, once again, pen true tales of my life ...
Paraphrasing Winston Churchill: “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference,” he said at length. “I admire you. You have learned to rise with the wind, rather than fight it. Too many people struggle to become what is expected of them, when, as we both know, what is expected of us (or what we have come to expect of ourselves) is rarely what we desire (for ourselves, deep within).”
