I had PTSD for ten years, after being evacuated in the face of a fire. It took me years to identify and understand it and finally let it go. Let's all let go of the things that no longer serve us. As Joni Mitchell says, "think of all the things I could have done, but clouds got in my way." Have a great day and put on your own oxygen mask first. You can't save anyone else with out saving yourself.

Love your words, Janice. I too have a great fear of fire, having experienced it near at hand and then in my own home as a three year old. I don't think one ever quite gets over that kind of trauma, but it's lost its power to overwhelm me.
