So if a second comment appears, well you will know why!<br /><br />What I was saying was that I was really proud of you for volunteering for the Salvation Army and I'm really happy that the OCD didn't bother you much. That is great progress.<br /><br />You know - I do see hope everywhere in the midst of even terrible things. I see people responding to help one another and comfort each other. I think that is one of the most beautiful things ever to witness.71º & Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09981113989131619635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831964660986535542.post-69537043541422380122012-12-22T21:40:11.254-05:002012-12-22T21:40:11.254-05:00Thank you, Behind the Smile--I wish you a hope-fil...Thank you, Behind the Smile--I wish you a hope-filled and joyous Christmas.Tina Fariss Barbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15659018994558471570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831964660986535542.post-77907961728762656002012-12-22T21:39:18.835-05:002012-12-22T21:39:18.835-05:00Deanna, thank you, and blessings to you also!Deanna, thank you, and blessings to you also!Tina Fariss Barbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15659018994558471570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831964660986535542.post-3081143507963872222012-12-22T20:32:47.460-05:002012-12-22T20:32:47.460-05:00Thank you for posting about hope, we all need to b...Thank you for posting about hope, we all need to be reminded of hope and nothing does that better than hearing someone tell of the hope they see or feel.

Hope is what kept me going through Exposure Therapy, and sometimes it wasn't my hope, it was the hope of my therapist and my husband, who let me borrow their hope until I could make it my own.expwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10556989048175473815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831964660986535542.post-7816766888319453712012-12-21T10:29:22.191-05:002012-12-21T10:29:22.191-05:00I love how much good you see in your surroundings ...I love how much good you see in your surroundings :-)<br /><br />I was going to grocery shop last night, but skipped it because it was so cold and rainy!Lisa @ Two Bears Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03464839163693785901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831964660986535542.post-22238739391768422862012-12-21T08:05:08.010-05:002012-12-21T08:05:08.010-05:00That's wonderful that you have been helping th...That's wonderful that you have been helping the Salvation Army.
