What's going on girlfriend? You have been very quiet around this board lately. Is everything okay? Anything you want to talk about? You have encouraged me so many times, I just wanted to let you know I (we) are here for you if you need me (us).

Or are you just plain busy vacation planning?????

I just hate this time of year..............

Hang in there sweetie! We are almost at the half way point for February. And down your neck of the woods, it must get pretty nice come March, right? Is it winter that gets to you? Less sunlight per day or what? Find something that you enjoy and focus on that for a few weeks. Get those closets cleaned before the nice weather comes, paint a room, anything like that gives me such a great sense of accomplishment!

Come on and recommit to your weight loss -recommit to YOURSELF! You can do this Laurie, I just KNOW you can!

This time of year, this DAY in general is hard for me. Today is 4 years since dh took his life so I dread this day every year.

Laurie, I know it's a sad day for you but try to stay busy and the day will pass quickly. Do you go visit his grave or the place ashes were scattered?? I always found it helpful to go there if I could....have a good cry and it always seemed to be such a healthy cleansing cry.....then I could move on that day.

Many hugs.....Phyllis

Laurie.....I am thinking about you
Stay strong! We are all here for you!

Laurie, thinking of you and saying a special prayer for you today. Hang in there.

Stay strong, Girlfriend! I can not, in any small way, imagine the kinds of thoughts you must be entertaining today - but I want you to remember that you are loved. And you are a hero for your kids - You can do this - and you WILL be fine. No doubt about it, no one should have to live through what you have lived through... but you have! This alone is a testament to the kind of inner strength that all of us have seen and felt fron you here on this board.

Do as Phyllis suggests - stay busy. Divert your focus if your mind goes there. Do NOT cheat on yourself - stay OP and you will be fine in the long run. We luv ya! Stay strong...

Laurie - wish I could give you this in person !!
