Doors

[Laura912]

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us."
-- Helen Keller,

Just saw the above quote. Sound like any one here?

I'm more of a "just keep breaking the doors down until they're all open" kinda girl :)

Doors, they are made to open. I've pursued opening any door I see as I went through my life. It has changed me in ways that are profound.

Hi Laura, I have used that quote in a few posts about some member divorcees .

Until approx. 3 months ago, my door was nailed shut with boards across it and furniture piled in front of that, similar to those movies where they're trying to keep out the zombies.

No more, baby! Kicked down that mother f#cker and am FINALLY finding out what it feels like to be happy, out of the fog.

Still a few zombies to deal with but nothing like the hordes I used to see through the cracks in the door, waiting to destroy me. F#ck those guys. HaHa :Punch:

Laura,
Sorry please excuse my ignorance but I don't who Helen Keller is, but to me she must have viewed the World through rose tinted glasses , how nice for her !

I'm also sorry to sound so cynical but at the moment real happiness doesn't appear to be written on either side of my doors but I 'm not giving up looking !

Speaking of Doors, crossdressing really does Light My Fire. It's fun to Break On Through To The Other Side.

:lol2: Teresa, not sure if you were trying to make that joke or not, but you do really need to look up Helen Keller to see just now ironic that was. I'm not laughing at you, but that's just funny.

Thanks for the good thoughts Laura :)

She was a uniquely perceptive woman. I've had a couple of doors slam shut behind me and wasted precious time looking backward.

Not sure if you were serious about not knowing who she was but if you are here is a quick synopsis of what I know of her. Helen Keller was blind and deaf, I can't recall if it was from birth or just early childhood. But she overcame both by learning to communicate, a near impossible feat for someone with both maladies. She became one of the most insightful people to have ever lived.
As for your own happiness, or potential for it, not being anywhere in sight.... Sometimes your happiness is too big for you to see it without stepping out of yourself and having the right guide show it to you!

[AbigailJordan]

It matters not what doors open or close if you spend your life gazing longingly out of the window.

Rather than waiting for a door to open, try the handle and open it yourself :)

Opening the right door is not always easy. Sometimes it takes discipline, patience and persistence.

I have always viewed an open door as an invitation.
Count the cost, then jump.
Always jump.
