Hi!

I had a much better day today. I guess things had to get worse before they could get better. I want to thank everyone that responded to my griping post. I really appreciated the insights and ideas, Glynis and Jeannette.

I ate a mushroom & cheese stuffed croissant and a club sandwich today. It’s the first time I’ve managed to eat anything other than rice cakes and toast! I am so thrilled!

My heart goes out to Claudia. The holiday season is a difficult one. For some reason, we are always reminded of loved ones during this time of year. My mom feels it more than I do, though. Her dad died right after Christmas seventeen years ago. I don’t remember him. I remember my Grandma, though. She died just after the holidays this past January. I remember last Christmas being extremely difficult because we knew it was going to be her last one. Claudia, remember we’re here for you.

It came to me this morning how much I depend on being able to check this BB and all your e-mails. This morning when I tried to connect to internet it said the modem was not connecting. I got out the book and tried several things with no success. Then I simply turned off the computer, turned it on again and it was OK. The point is that when I couldn’t get to the BB I felt very empty and alone. I realize how much I depend on the communication this BB affords us. Because I live on the West coast when I check in after dinner a lot of you have gone to bed (some sleeping, some not!!), so I don’t participate as much as I probably should. I read earlier about reading the advertisements as they keep the BB going. Well I have several times and I hope others do because I know this family of friends on the BB is a great help to everyone and it would be a shame if for any reason they had to discontinue it. Again, thanks from Vancouver, Canada. SAS

Hi – just a note of thanks for the e-mails and notes on the BB when I was feeling down the other day. It really helps. Luci, I do agree with Doug’s wisdom but it takes someone to say it. Yesterday after my busy morning (fuming because I have to get another expensive crown on a tooth in June) I came home and fell asleep and didn’t even turn on the computer all day or night. Today was better and I will just keep on enjoying the good days and coping with the bad. I’m going to order the “warrior” t-shirt, because I AM going to master this thing!! Thanks all. SAS

I have read and read everthing here and for the most part, I felt as tho you were talking about me. The anger and depressions that I couldn’t explain and never could others understand, how could they, I couldn’t either. I feel like for the first time in 3 weeks, I want to leave the house. Haven’t had the desire or the energy, still not too much energy, but the front porch is nice for a start. Thank you all for sharing, it has made me feel better about myself for the first time in quite some time!
