The last post my classmate posted this morning "Don't expect more from life than you are willing to put into it. Live to your fullest potential everyday."

Thank you all so much. I'm sad that I won't be able to attend my classmates funeral tomorrow as I'm 2,000 miles away. I've been thinking about him a lot today. He had lost all that weight, was on his way and died in a car accident. His brother who is in his late 30's had a stroke earlier this year but is doing much, much better. That brother and his wife are going to have a baby boy any day now. My classmate was very positive and was loved by many. This is one of those times you get motivated to enjoy the time we have left but I guess life often happens and sometimes it gets put on the back burner. I don't mean to make this about me but I know I have been resentful a lot lately and I'm going to work on that. I want my son to see his mom happy. My heart goes out to my classmates parents and his loved ones.

Angie - I find it very inspiring that your classmate's tragedy is motivating you to make your life more positive!

As I see it, recovery is the one place where we are encouraged to make it "all about ourselves." I know for me, recovery is the first place where I stopped trying to ease others' burdens and put the focus solely on what needed fixing in me. I started to see what I could to do be happier.

I used to think that self care was ridiculously indulgent. Now I can see it helps me be a better friend, wife, mom, coworker, etc.

Keep up the good work Angie!

I really enjoyed your post Glee---to fix what is wrong with me and stop worrying about others and there problems. Which really isn't my business anyway. thank you for that.

I'm looking out the window at the smoke in the mountains from the huge fire here in California. Helicopters are flying all over. My coworker couldn't go home because the roads were closed. Alex and I are not in danger of being evacuated but so many people have been. I hope everyone stays safe and the fires get contained soon.

My former coworker has been wanting me to go in to talk to the boss and tell her that she's available to work. She texted me again today. I want her to come back and I feel like it's all on my shoulders since she won't even place a phone call to the boss asking about it. I had a mild panic attack shortly after her text.

I have a lot of anxiety but want to help her and I don't know how to go about talking to the boss about it. She's not approachable.

I don't really see it as your responsibility to run interference Angie.
Maybe you can let your friend know how uncomfortable this makes you.

If your friend wants the job I think she needs to make some effort herself. Jobs don't just fall in your lap.

If she doesn't want to ask herself face to face, maybe she can send a letter?

I have seemed to have misplaced my phone. I had it this morning and it's either somewhere in the car or my house. I think it's in my car but I slept 30 minutes last night and I just want to sleep. My ex husband went off on me last night and again today when I saw him about how much he has to pay and I'm just a little tired of it all. Also, how he is the better parent. I'm just tired.

The phone was on silent so I can't have someone call it and find it.

I hope your phone will turn up.

As for your husband, forget it. He's just trying to rile you. The moneys for your son, so Ex-boy can go jump
