Yes, i was sitting at work, contemplating suicide (not joking)
when 3 armed men came into our offices, threatening to shoot if we didn't co-operate.
I had a gun held at my head for well over 30Min's, not knowing if i was going to be shot.
I remember thinking to myself that i had no chance of surviving a bullet wound to the head, especially at such short range.
Millions of thought were racing through my head...
Obviously i wasn't shot, else i wouldn't have been on here now but boy; am i look a life differently after that day.

Usually when I find I am having my deepest despair, I embrace it and enjoy that dark place for a minute. Then usually the next day I am sprung into action from having that moment of real downtime.

....D.....I Think in life,, we all have many moments, of despair That moment in my life, was the trauma, I suffered losing my husband, but, I had to turn my life around ,and fast because, I wanted my babies, and, nothing in this world ,was going to interfer with the birth of my babies. So, I guess ,that was the most ,positive turning point, in my life, and ,in my Love, for Life.........Thanks ....D.......you have a way of making me feel good through your questions........Thank You luv Kara

Yes. The night my x husband and I split. It was a horrible night. Two small kids... But if we had not split, I would never have accomplished all that I have this far in life. For the last year in my marriage, every night cried, begging for God to make me happy. Asking him why I was not happy, because I had a husband, 2 great kids, nice home etc.. why wasn't I happy?.. Then when we split, I was angry with God, until I realized that he opened the door to find what would make me happy.

yes, I quit my first job, though I was a respected teacher and I loved the kids there. but the atmosphere was horrible and I was supposed to join the club of the manager, against a colleague... who was my friend... it's a long story. anyway I left, I applied for a PHD, wrote some books and now I work at a university... where people are really nice and I really feel great!

Yes...
While thinking life is tasteless and without a meaning after I have lost that Precious Lady....I started writing POETRY....
It was amazing how I could do it....Many did not believe it was my own...
It has rules & limitations in our language; making it extremely difficult to attain.... and it just worked for me...
Nowadays... I am learning how originally it is to be made...

Yes. I thought it was the end of my world when it happened, but it was absolutely the beginning of a healthy, happy new life.
