Life Isn't About Waiting For The Storm To Pass, But About Learning ...

My personal selection of some really awesome posts I think you really need to see

Still Stuck

This last week, I seem to have trouble catching the good ideas that fly through my mind at warp speed. There are so many of them, and it’s so hard to pick the right ones and then turn them into posts...

Today I decided to give myself a break and to stop forcing myself to get something written.

Instead, I’d like to share with you some posts that I’ve come across this week and of which I think they deserve to be seen by more people.

My Personal Curation

First, I want to show you 2 posts that were written straight from the heart. Both brought me to tears (so make sure you have a handkerchief near by) - the love between @briancourteau and @lynncoyle1 is so pure their posts touched me deeply. I was also a little shocked, because although I interact with @lynncoyle1 on a daily basis, I was completely unaware of the struggle she and her hubby Brian are going through.

It started with @briancourteau’s post:
A letter to @lynncoyle1 as I inch closer to death from Cancer

And then today, I found out @lynncoyle1 had written a post to thank everyone to make her hubby smile:

#shoutoutsaturdays! How I appreciate @briancourteau and all of you !

Then, there was also a post by @terminallyill that surprised me. We don’t know each other very well - just the occasional comment and reply - and I knew about him because of his fun contests.

But then I stumbled upon his latest article, and it blew my socks off. I truly admire his guts to be so open and honest about his struggle with addiction and that he’s launching a recovery based initiative right here on the Blockchain.

Struggling with addiction myself, I can only try to reach the point where I can be as open and honest about my story as @terminallyill is.

Devon, you’ve got my support!

Another post I want to share with you today is one by another fellow member of the @newbieresteemday initiative, @charisma777

When I read her article the first time, it once again struck me how little we know about each other’s daily life. Although it feels like you know the people you’re interacting with regularly, you actually know just a small part of them. Just like with @briancourteau, @lynncoyle1 and @terminallyill, I knew nothing about @charisma777’s daily struggles.

Her story touched me, and I hope she’ll find a way to make things right soon.

The last one of today is actually a post that has already reached post-payout a while ago. Still, I wanted to mention it, because I found it to be very inspiring.

To be honest, I had never heard about @mermaidvampire, until someone mentioned her in an appreciation comment on my ‘Show Your Appreciation contest-post.

I visited her profile page and her profile description intrigued me right away. ‘I’m defying death with fun’, it says.

I started reading her posts, and discovered her to be a very interesting, honest and brave lady, who tries to face her difficulties in life with her head held high.

@mermaidvampire, we don’t know each other (yet), but I want you to know that the honesty and courage you showed in your post, has really inspired me.

So guys (and gals), I know the post below is past payout. If you like it, maybe head over to one of @mermaidvampire’s more recent posts and give it an upvote to show your appreciation

Reach Out And Keep Going

I could go on for hours, because there are so many touching and inspiring stories posted on SteemIt every day. Yet, I didn’t want to take up too much of your precious time.

The posts I’ve shared here have really touched me. And although I shed more than a tear reading them, I’m glad I did. And I hope you will too.

Feel free to share the posts that have touched you in the comments section below. I’ll be sure to have a handkerchief ready ;0)
