Hi Matt - I've found that I slacked off a bit from doing things to GAL. I got a little lazy. But when I did, I found myself dwelling on my situation more, so I get up out of my chair, and get going. Do whatever, just to get out of the house. I know it's hard to be alone in the house, but you are so blessed to have your kids, even when they are not there at the moment with you. I do not have any - and no dog, yet - so it's REALLY quiet here! But I've gotten used to it, so it's ok now. Hang in there Matt - you're doing great. We all have to dig really deep to find our strength...but it's there, and you'll find it if you keep digging!
