Emotional Mess

HA! Awesome! Those are the best kind of friends to have... even if you do want to help them fall off a balcony sometimes for their honesty  LOL

For me ... I always try and look at the glass half full.  What a blessing your daughter is going to Junior High ... she could be out in the streets running wild, but she is safe at home with you.  Wow your son is in high school ... what a blessing that is because he could be caught up in gangs, becoming a baby daddy, lying hurt somewhere, but he is safe at home with you.  Wow your oldest son is beginning his life.  Going into the Air Force.  Your boy is growing into the man that you raised him to be ... what a blessing that is!  There is someone, somewhere wishing they had your children ... they are not promised to us forever, but just take a minute and look at what you have been blessed with ... wow!

Sorry about the marriage part, that is not easy.  Been there, done that.  BUT whatever happens, YOU can get through it, and YOU can make it, YOU will do whatever you have to do to survive, YOU have so much strength that you probably don't even realize, YOU are not alone, YOU don't need to stuff yourself like you use to.  YOU are becoming that YOU that you want to be.  Keep your eye on YOUR prize.

Hang in there Tonya ... we have so much to be thankful for!

When you put it that way....you are exactly right!  I've been blessed with 3 very beautiful children.  They are polite, courteous, and very well mannered.  I love them.  I just hope that I have given them what they need to succeed in life.  I think they will be just fine. 

Thanks for the kind words this morning.  I needed to look at it from a different angle.

AND another thing ... I could be all bummed out right now while WAITING to get approval for my surgery and to get a date ... and so dislike you right now because you have been there and done that (smile)!

But I am thankful for the time I have right now to work on getting my body stronger so that the surgery and healing process might be quicker.  Girl we all have our stuff don't we????

Happy Friday and have the BEST weekend yet ... stop letting people, places or things take your peace!  It is so not worth it ... Be that sunshine that I see in your flower ...

Awww..thank you.  You WILL get your approval and your new life will be starting shortly.

You have a great weekend!!!

 What works for me -- exercise to burn off stress, and journaling. Something about committing my thoughts to paper (well, laptop) seems to break the chain of obsessive thinking. Sometimes writing it as a letter to a specific person, but NOT sending it, can be helpful.

And like someone else said, go ahead and cry. You won't cry forever.

I LOVE your positive attitude! I am sure you are "contagious" to be around...in a good way of course! ;-)
Since my RNY, I am even more so trying to surround myself with positive people, life is just too short for all of the negativity that is out there!!!! You will get approved, no doubt in my mind! Keep it up!
