Re: RE: Time of year-Elly

[Guest guest]

I agree with you on the " why do we do this to ourselves " in regards to a

day when we feel pretty good and over do it. I'm great at doing that and too

damn thick to learn from it to date. I hate winter which adds to my

depression and I can relate to you there also.

I hope you're home sooner than you think & that you feel much better.
