Haha!

You crack me up ;-) And at the time, I probably would have done that too

if I could have figured out the way. Whew. Thank goodness for limits on

Patti that was really funny.  LOL...  This is from my home address that

posted the original gratitude by letter comment from my work address. 

 

B is one of my favorite letters when I don't put any restrictions on what it

needs to be...Balance, Babies, Boundaries, Books, Bed.... I just love gratitude

lists in general.  :-)

sounds like something that would have gone on my " love and abundance " list.  I

love it when miracles happen!

Better.... Thanks for asking. I'm eating a lot and hardly sleeping. But

I'm home now.... so we should be able to deal with things. I'm worried

about my husband's mood..... he's depressed. But it's not my

responsibility to improve his mood. That's his problem. I can only take

care of myself.

I only have a week here..... then back to Wisconsin for a week. I've got

tons of work to do.... lots to worry about.....But I can only do what I can

do, right?

Anyway, I would like to get my eating under control. But I'm not going to

feel guilty about it. I'm still working on reading chapter 2 and will do

some writing about things.

All in all, I'm ok. Working through the tough things.
