Clouds are starting to part!

Thank you so much to everyone who sent me a responce to my "In a Funk" posting. I took today off and it was fantastic. I almost feel like my old self. Sometimes just being home doing the simple things that we can't get to with our busy lifes is the best medicine anyone could take. I can't say enough good about this web sight. When I typed my message it was more just to get it all out into words. I never dreamed that people would send me a reply. And not just replys but great thoughts on how to deal with the sometimes overwhelimg issues that happen in our daily lives.I'm still stressed about my job, the new car issue, and my mom. But I've had a chance to catch up on the laundry and cleaning and painting as silly as this all might sound it was also a chance to do some thinking and planning of the worriesome thoughts that had been going through my head. So now all the stress items don';t seem as bad. Sure they still need to be dealt with but I can do it one step at a time. I've also made plans to get together with one of my old friends for dinner one night this week. I can't wait to see her and catch up on our lives! I dont think she knows that my oldest is engaged and will be getting married next year! Thank you again, good luck all and god bless, pam

Pam! So glad you took some time and spent it on you! I did some putzing around today and felt much better for it! the laundry is done, the garage could actually put a car in (ok the garage is only 1.2 done its is supposed to fit 2 cars ) Baby steps to organization! Make sure to take care of you and if you notice the funk lasts longer than just a few days talk to someone! Don't let it get you. This from the person who lost about 15 months after my daughter was born to depression and it wasn't pretty the state of my house. A friend actually came and spent a week cleaning it for me and didn't finish THAT was horrendous but it made me seek help! Not saying this is where you are but I am a worrier for people who don't take care of themselves! {{hugs}} Nic 291/161/150
