*Just an aside to all those who are frustrated or hurting from your Redheaded Friend* Most of you know me or of me, as I have been posting here for a long time. You all have been my source of fun, friendship, strength in hard times, and encouragement when there were very few other places I could turn to. Indulge me here, my faith, as I know we all have our own beliefs. I truly do thank God for you all. I know that, without Him, and without the wisdom and love of my family and friends, I would surely have fallen by the wayside many times. Recently, I had one crisis after the next, mixed with depression and anxiety that was off the charts. I can honestly say that I love that my friends from here were the ones I turned to for help, guidance, encouragement, and strength. I am blessed beyond measure to have people in my circle who, without fail, support me when I am weak, cry with me when my heart is feeling damaged from one thing or the other, and look me in the eye and say, "you WILL get through this... and I am here to help." So many of us make the choice to quietly suffer, not wanting to share our sad times with the ones who will love and understand us best. For those who may be suffering in silence, please... reach out to a friend from here. These folks are some of the best supporters and cheerleaders you will ever find. We love to restore our own to happiness and peace, especially since so many of us have "caretaker" hearts. Let your friends do what they may do best... let them help. I'm certain that no one will regret it, and the ones who can help will feel that they have given a bit of themselves to invest in someone they care about. With much love and prayers to those who struggle with the big and little things, Your friend... Red
