Hey Barkley, I know how you feel. In fact, I might very well have given up by this point if it weren't for the kids -- they're why I wake up every morning and keep doing what I need to do, no matter how little I actually feel like doing it.

In a way, it's amazing what we're capable of in (beyond) difficult circumstances. Somehow, we manage to find ways to keep moving on. Just have to keep doing that one day at a time and hope things eventually start feeling not so bad.
