Sandi is here and things are getting better!

Sandi - I'm so sorry to hear you had a rough weekend. I pray every morning that my kids and W are healthy and safe so I know how important that is. I just said a prayer for you to. I hope you're feeling better and I wish there was something I could do to help you. You've helped me a lot since I've been out here.

I'm glad your daughters jumped in and helped -- that's what family is for. I do wish your husband would engage more and be more considerate!!! I don't know a lot about the Fibro you have, but it sounds challenging, so I'm sorry you're struggling with that. I do pray and have confidence that you'll have your good days too, so be sure to take advantage of those. Everytime I'm feeling down about my situation I'll pick up the paper or watch the news and I realize there are many people in much worse situations than me, and that makes me feel thankful. I watched Extreme Makeover - Home Edition the other night and that program almost always make me well up and be very thankful for what I have.

One thing you said struck me, and that was about having your husband share his feelings. My wife told me this summer that it actually creeps her out to talk about her feelings and the relationship with me. When I was trying to open up and talk about my feelings with her, I was actually pushing her away. Can you believe that? So, we are in the identical situation. If I don't bring up something, we basically don't talk about it, because she doesn't like to. So, weird. Anyhow, just thought I'd share that.

You can talk to me about your feelings anytime! I'm all ears!

Take care and feel better!
