rjj - really no problem, didn't give it a second thought. i will be joining in again, just give me some time - it's really hard to do with the family hanging around

ll - so then how to find a way to re-learn or un-learn all this garbage that has allowed us to be self distructive instead of productive? - now there is the 64,000 dollar question. one to which i don't know the answer to as of yet. but still working on trying to find the answer

sage - what? a hijack on my thread??? LOL - pam had answered you about that book, but i can't remember where i saw it

deb - dang girl, do you know how much i miss chatting with you? yes, i am fully aware of the down days that we all have - and i am also fully aware of how much positive thinking plays a part in our sitches, it's just that sometimes it's a bit hard eh? altho, this time, i am glad i didn't take it out on hubby

opt - oh opt, i didn't even realize i was helping all that much, but i am glad i did. we all need a little help now and then eh? just having someone to talk to is sometimes all we need

elwood - thank you so much for the visit, and yes, i know your right about the acting as if. your sitch has certainly taken a 180 on it's own eh? and to think you are divorced and it's working out this way! i do have hope!!!

odga - your sitch is picture perfect, it's working out in all levels, and i am so very happy for you. thanks for the reminders!!!

bill - oh bill, you hit home with so much of your post. i have been tremendously SAD since i wrote all of that and i think it's more of "what the hell have i done with my life" instead of the sitch in general ya know? i have sat in this god forsaken house for the past week with deep regrets about different areas of my life, and not knowing what exactly to do about it. do i live with the sorrow until it's no more? do i have the luxury of taking this time to wallow in my misery and grieve with it until it's over.

the one thought that keeps running thru my head is something my mom always said to me "you don't have the LUXURY of being depressed - no one has that kind of time"

so snap out of it kitti, dang, i really wish that would work

*******************

having trouble focusing on positives as of late, which is the main reason i haven't been posting. i have been keeping up on all the sitches tho, just feeling negative

i will do my best tomorrow to get back into the swing of the posting of positives. just trying to assimilate lots of junk
