I'm feeling better today, too, and glad to hear you are, as well!

Yes, hope is still there. If it weren't for Jesus Christ (who is my hope) I would be pulling my hair out. ;-)

I can't imagine what I would weigh if I weren't exercising. I weigh too much anyway. Yesterday supper was a large pizza. OMG!! I gotta get my diet under control.
I went fishing yesterday. I own a smaller boat and, was on a rather large lake. The waves got bigger than I thought they would so, I was rocking and rolling more than I would've liked to. While walking through the boat my right hamstring cramped up big time. I'm glad I wasn't hungover or drunk because I probably would've gone overboard if I were. Not to brag but, I was also fighting a rather large fish at the time which only complicated the matter more.
Congrats to today's celebrants! Congrats to all who are here today! My prayers for anyone who is struggling. (((Kris)))

Since he's been out of work, our savings have really dwindled and I'm going to have to find something soon because it's all we've been living off of. But had to go to the doctor this morning to get a skin condition taken care of before I'm going to be able to work again. And that may take a few weeks. I'm kinda terrified to wait, but really not able to work right now. And it scares me finding work at my age (mid-fifties). I feel like everything is on my shoulders now and I'm really pissed that we didn't take better care of ourselves financially over the years. Believe me, you are not alone in this world. Even though you and I don't really know each other, we sure do have a lot in common. Didn't mean to make such a complaining post, just wanted you to know I'm there with you.

You can do this. You can put your life back together. I have complete confidence that you will.
Just keep going forward. The alternative is completely unthinkable.
