From this point on, it was written from what I recorded in my journal. I am SO thankful I wrote down the most precious moments in my journal!Snowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-32057886209340959502013-02-05T19:09:52.612-07:002013-02-05T19:09:52.612-07:00Thanks, CameraGirl.

I once had a huge tramatic event that led to PTSD - and I never was able to write a word about it until about 20 years after it. It involved a gun, two shots, a dead dog, and me being held a gunpoint. I wonder if I might have recovered faster if I'd written about it, like you did.<br /><br />No doubt that you're right about how these events shape us and help us to be ready for the future hard knocks in our lives.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-35612215178213318132013-02-01T02:15:41.944-07:002013-02-01T02:15:41.944-07:00I admire what you do and work with it yourself.

But I am surprised you have so many memories in detail of the addicent. <br /><br />Hugs from NF MonicaNatureFootstephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01340635075481959029noreply@blogger.com
