Hey, SO....before I start, how is everyone doing? ive been trying to read all the posts but for some reason I never know what to post back, but just to let you all know, I am here listening and if can ever help I promise I will.

Yesterday I went to a wedding, it was amazing - it was a greek othodox wedding, and I had a great time. Then towards the end, the bride turned around a threw the boquet of flowers - I caught it! The thing is I didnt try, I didnt want to catch it - im 16 for god sake, but my friend grabbed my arm and said go on come stand behind the bride, so i squeezed myself into a corner, and kept my hands by my sides, so someone else could catch it. The boquet was thrown in the air, and came straight to me - no joke - if I hadnt of caught it, it would of hit me on the head.
It amazed me - having won the Limbo dance, 1 hour before, I felt like I was on a role, lol! It was just so strange, many of course can call it a coinsidence, but it felt to me - like NatashaW said in one of her posts - like a sign from god, giving me the flowers, telling me to get better. I dont know, obviously a bunch of flowers and a wierd feeling that they could be from god, most probably wont stop the ED, but I thought that I would post any way.

Love you all

signs from God, a message from the supreme being, whatever you believe in doesn't matter - if the smell of a blooming flower or the warm breeze on your face lifts your spirits and gives you hope that you can survive that is what matters. We get so mired in ED that it steals everything that is precious from us until sometime we can't even notice a beautiful snowstorm, a oncoming storm on the horizon. It is so important to grab onto whatever is real and gives us peace - my cheesy soap box for the day. I used to get up very early everyday just to watch the sunrise so I could reassure myself that it was a new day and maybe, just maybe, it would be better than the last.....
