Stop me on the edge

Where would we be in this life without a few good friends, and kind words at exactly the right time?  I don't think I have a ton of friends, but the ones I do have are so great.  Thanks to my friends for all the super nice words and helpful advice. You Guys are the best.  I feel less Crazed and have calmed to the whole situation.  Ok not entirely, but I'm putting things into perspective. I'm trying, but I'm a mom.

Among some of the best advice I recieved, was this,  "Panic Slowly" (props to Ashley, and her wise Dad) I fell in love with those words and I think I will use them again and again.  Short but profound.  Words to live by as far as I'm concerned.

Isn't crazy how quickly we think of all the bad and slowly hope for the good?  Why do we do that to ourselves?  I think maybe I'm bad at that.  Thank goodness for my friends that stop me just on the edge and pull me back.  I'm my own worst enemy.  And I dont think I'm alone in that.

One of my long time friends, lets call her Ginny M. ( Or maybe G. Mercer ), is so quick to panic about the worst.  She not only thinks its the worst but BELIEVES its the worst!  That being said, She is one of the first people to always try and say something positive in my life and the strange drama that ensues.  Or if she can't say something positive she can find ways to make it funny  (I give lots of credit to her parents who are just  Great people.)   And not just funny haha, but funny till it hurts.  Thanks for that Gimmy, you can expect a phone call some evening from my daughter--be ready!

 Anyways, I don't know much, but I know this much is true.... If you are fortunate enough to have a small handful of good friends, choose wisely.  Your gonna need them in your corner.  You never ever know when your gonna need to hear..."panic slowly"
