Hi,<\/p>\n

\n

Hope your day is going really, really well.<\/p>\n

\n

First Happy Labor Day to everyone who celebrates Labor Day.<\/p>\n

\n

Wikipedia writes that “Labor Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September. The holiday originated in 1882 as the Central Labor Union\u00a0 <\/span>(of New York City) sought to create “a day off for the working citizens” just in case you were out of the United States and wondering.<\/p>\n

\n

Like I said yesterday I was hiking. People were asking where and how far. I went to upstate New York and New Jersey.<\/p>\n

\n

The trail was super difficult. I mean really difficult. It was over 10 miles. I got lost so many times. There were people that I met in the middle of the woods totally lost. I couldn’t even help because I barely knew where I was going.<\/p>\n

\n

Some ran out of water. I did towards the end as well. NONE of us knew how hard and long it was going to be. It was amazing.<\/p>\n

\n

I actually fell and hurt my leg as well so I am limping today. I might have to go to the doctor tomorrow if it doesn’t get better. I am heading off to the gym because I have a rule that if I am going to skip the gym I have to at least go there and sit on on piece of equipment.<\/p>\n

\n

I am probably going to do an upper body machine today.<\/p>\n

\n

Oh one more thing. I met a person in the woods that was a scientist that said he had a friend that was a top researcher for bipolar and schizophrenia. I am going to be emailing him to try to setup an interview. Pretty interesting? Never know who you will meet huh?<\/p>\n

\n

Okay enough of the updates on me.<\/p>\n

\n

I am an outdoors person so I see out a lot of stuff in nature.<\/p>\n

\n

Yesterday I saw a bunch of roses while I was hiking.<\/p>\n

\n

Someone sent me an email about a rose and it’s a great lesson for bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

\n

Take a look at this poem that someone sent me:<\/p>\n

\n

Life is like a rose.<\/p>\n

In order to partake of its beauty You must also suffer the pain of Its thorns<\/p>\n

\n

————————————————————–<\/p>\n

\n

Now, that may be a good statement about life in general, but I’ll tell you what it has to do with bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

\n

So let’s talk about what it says, and how it does relate to bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

\n

We’d all like our loved one’s bipolar disorder to go along without a hitch.<\/p>\n

\n

We’d love it if they were medication complaint, stuck with their treatment plan, had no more episodes, always saw their doctors, therapists, etc., without complaining\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

We’d love it if they would always take care of themselves (so we wouldn’t have to), stick to a good diet (and never cheat), exercise (and not get lazy), and sleep right (never staying up too late to watch those late movies or TV shows).<\/p>\n

\n

We’d love it if we had a stress-free life as a supporter of a loved one with bipolar disorder. Yes, we’d love those things. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

But that’s not reality, is it?<\/p>\n

\n

The reality is like what the author wrote about the rose.<\/p>\n

\n

You have to take the bad with the good.<\/p>\n

\n

A rose is very beautiful. <\/span>But it also has its thorns.<\/p>\n

\n

Just like bipolar disorder. <\/span>It has its good days. But it also has its bad days too, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n

\n

In my courses\/systems below, I don’t just talk about the good parts of bipolar disorder \u2013 I tell you how to deal with the bad things, too \u2013 about how to deal with episodes, and even how to deal with what happens after episodes:<\/p>\n

\n

HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?<\/p>\n

Visit:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\n

What a beautiful life it would be if we didn’thave to deal with bipolar disorder\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

NOT TRUE!<\/p>\n

\n

We’d still have to deal with life itself.<\/p>\n

\n

And, like the poem, which was NOT about bipolar disorder, by the way, it was about LIFE\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

No life is perfect. <\/span>You’d still have to deal with many of the same problems you’re having to deal with that you are now with your loved one’s bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n

\n

So what I’m trying to say is\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

Don’t feel sorry for yourself when times get bad, because they would get bad sometimes with or without having to deal with bipolar disorder in your life.<\/p>\n

\n

That’s just life itself.<\/p>\n

\n

Learn from the Lesson of the Rose.<\/p>\n

\n

Kind of interesting huh? I get a lot of great things sent to me because there is so many smart people on my list.<\/p>\n

\n

Many people incorrectly think my list is full of “crazy people.” I have several very large mailing lists and by far, the smartest people are on my bipolar list.<\/p>\n

\n

Which brings up another topic for another day which is how smart people with bipolar disorder really are.<\/p>\n

\n

Hey I have to run. I am heading off to a friend’s house today. Catch you tomorrow. If you are taking the day off, have a great one.<\/p>\n

\n

Oh, what did you think of that poem?<\/p>\n

\n

Oh, I am going to try to get some of my hiking photos posted for you to see.<\/p>\n
