Yesterday Was A Great Day I Took Some Of L.t.b.'s Advice And Took My Wife Out And We Went To The Movies Around 2:00pm And Watched X-men:3 And Then I Took Her Out To Eat And We Went And Did Alittle Shopping After That And The Entire Day Went Absolutly Wonderful. I Pray To God That We Can Have More Of These Days Since School Is Through With Now. But Even When We Got Home And Went For A Walk At Night Around The Nice Little Park Near Our House. We Came Home And Just Watched Movies For The Rest Of The Night It Was Like I Was Living A Fantasy. Then I Stop To Think That Is It Bad That Days Like This Should Be A Fantasy To Me. I Know I Love Her And I Know She Loves Me Too And I Especially Like It When She Is Happy And Yesterday Really Made Me Happy So Lets Start Counting Off Lol That Is One Day Of Peace

Wow...that's great that you feel the greatness and see the power you have to change how things turn out by the little changes you make in a day!! Sometimes when we feel powerless doing something to take our minds off of it usually ends up being the best thing after all.

I know how difficult it is since I am going through something very similar with my daughter. Even one day seems like a vacation and having a positive attitude and good sense of humor can make a world of difference!!

So Coddy...you keep on counting and I am hoping that your one day of peace & happiness turns into many more!!!

I'm glad to be smiling with you.....thanks for sharing

Coddy,
I can't tell you how happy it makes me that you found a calm inside the storm. There in lies the hope.
She WILL have more and more days like that as she understands her symptoms and how to manage them.
Remember that balance is key. She has to find a way to stay calm all the time. Excitement leads to depression. Once these excited thoughts and feelings begin, they will escalate if not calmed.

You are such a loving and calming influence in her life and she is so lucky to have someone so dedicated and loving by her side.

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul.
And sings the tune
Without the words,
and never stops at all.
Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886)

I'm so glad you had a good day!
much love
