One step at a time, baby. One slow step at a time.
36 years ago and still the hardest thing I've ever done. Don't stop, try not to look back, keep taking that next step.
Have a great Sunday, Rally Point.

Iy may not be an easy one, but may you reach the destination you seek; may you always stay positive that your journey will end in success; may you take the time to heal your body, mind, and soul along the way; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy.

We have support groups almost every night of the week where anonymously or not, you can participate from the comfort of your own home, your own space via a video conference bridge... and you don't have to turn on the video - you can just listen or talk, or both!

The mind is the slowest part to heal, images of the past always linger in the background.

CPT Gurinder (Gene) Rana
It's called memories, if the history was good to outstanding and; if the memories haunt you then, this is called Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome or PTSS.

COL Jim Ainslie
Memory is a tricky thing. You must embrace the memories the good and the bad. They remind you of your successes and of your failings, of happiness and of sadness. Life is full and at times all you can remember is the failures that haunt you. You just have to remind yourself of the success you have had. A wise old man told me two things when I was young that has helped me. 1) You can always get off the train no matter how far you have traveled. 2) A great baseball player fails 70 percent of the time.
