Hi all.   I have been extra busy lately with work, my master's degree and now I am moving.  Things have been very hectic and I just wanted to do a quick check in and see how everyone is doing.  I missed my meeting in Ocala last time but I will try to be at the next one.  Donna - I will see you then hopefully!

Please keep in touch and let me know how you are doing.  I am not moving far, so I will still be a part of the group - just right now there is a LOT going on with me for moods/emotions getting out of sync.  I have had my mom in ICU in July for 10 days and my uncle in ICU most of September (three surgeries he wasn't expected to make it through due to his weakened state and he made it!!).  It has been a very rough time, but you know what - that what doesn't break you down will make you stronger.  

Just didn't want you to think I forgot you or wasn't a part of the group - it just has been a rough patch.  On that note, would any of you be interested in helping me out with the group posts and activities?  If you are, please email me or let me know and I can review those interested and make some others administrators of our group.  I think that may help in getting folks involved in the group and maybe we can try some group chat activities or group meetings too that way.

Thank you all and let me know how you are doing and what's going on.   

Update for me - i am down 80 pounds now!!  Whoo - Hoo!!  It feels so good to have a half a person gone from my joints and bones now.  No pain walking in shoes, clothes that are cute and I actually am getting cold again.
