Thursday afternoon

Hey you blessed bunch of  ladies :)

SO glad we all dug in and found something to count as a blessing.. I am hoping each day we can all look around and find one no matter how bad it seems at the moment .

Tell you what ....let us on the days we think we have nothing ,,,,look at the Morgan's life at the moment ..

Let us look at Connie who is suffering right this second ..

Let us look at any of the others on here who are in worse shape than we are ..

THANK YOU LORD for the small problems I am having and please help those who are in such greater need today ..

Somebody got a new carrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ! Good for you
And lots of you let that wonderful greatful attitude shine today ...

I think personally your all a wonderful group of ladies ..

Have a great night and a better tomorrow

Thank you Shirley.

I struggle daily with depression and it can be way too easy to vent to the nice people here.

It may take a bit more effort to count my blessings but the blessing ARE THERE.

Smile are contagious and I want to infect as many people as possible.

I think that at times we all suffer with that ,,,,IT is sure a BLUE day when ti happens and mine are not the kind that requires a medication for an imbabalance but the one that just a funk but EITHER are tough.
I pray alot , and exercise as that raises all those feel goods and then I have a litttle thing i play ,,,I think back to the WORST times i have had in my life and see how that didnt last and life got better and WALLA ,,,, i start to feel better ,
I am sorry you have that as I wouldnt wi**** on anyone.   Money struggle makes lots down in the dumps as well as being alone with noone talk to in the middle of the night ...Health issues and the list goes on.
You are putting forth a positive face ,,,THAT IS THE FIRST STEP as you know and sometimes when we fake a smile ,   it happens for real and then we feel joy in our hearts .
If someone asked me what I would like most in the world , my answer would be to always have a heart filled with JOY .  If you have that you have everything because then you can handle anything that life tosses you .
Have a blessed day Annette and sure hope it is filled for Joy for you .

Shirley, I agree sometimes I dwell on the negative. It's easier to do. The past six years (especially the last one) have been hell, and my mind just can't take it anymore. And sometimes I just take it out on the rest of the world (in other words, my coworkers). Somehow, my new happy pills are doing their job extra hard lately, and I'm not feeling the burden of the world anymore.

And getting that new car yesterday ... well, that's extra special. Now ... paying it off ... well, that's going to be difficult, but that's a challenge I'm willing to take on.

On the new car,  I too want one but my car only has 55,000 miles on it BUT it is an 03 ..  Still looks almost new but when they get that kinda miles I start to feel like it is wearing down and the fact that it is 8 .
I have looked at some but ONE, cant think of wanting to make a payment and two like you if life gets more difficult with the economy then what about a struggle with the payment .
To be honest though , I am not sure the economy is going to get alot better bleak as that sounds.So i an envious that you have the courage to step out and get one .

Glad you have the mood elevators to help you smile easier at the world ..:) My sis suffers horribley with depression ,clinical depression and anxiety and she cant function well without hers ..
I am so THANKFUL mine when it comes isnt that type and goes away on its own..
Having a new car is VERY SPECIAL ,,,,HAPPY FOR YOU MISSY :)
hugs

Eileen....I'm SOOOO proud of your new car.  It's absolutely beautiful...love the color!!  You work hard and deserve this blessing.  Enjoy!!
