Just me

I think that since no one reads this I am going to make it my personal forum to help me "get my feelings out". I am at work and it is a Monday morning. I used to like Mondays. A fresh new start to a new week but as I grow older I am not so eager for it to be Monday. My co-worker Heather is off today as is my boss. So I am holding the fort down with our accountant who is upstairs. It is still warm and mugging but I have an air conditioner so I am okay. It is going to be a dull and dreary day but we are blessed that hurricane Bill didn't hit as hard as people thought. I guess prayers were answered.

I went scrap booking this weekend. I was suppose to go Friday & Saturday but I was not well on Friday. Saturday started off the same but I forced myself to go. It started off slow but by supper time I was feeling okay. Amy, my other buddy was scrappin beside me. She is so sweet and so accepting of our friendship. I have had a hard time thinking I could be any ones friend with the attitude that I have had lately.

I just saw Julie and Julia. I loved it. I was impressed by the blogging that Julie did. I loved her acting and the fact that she was so dedicated to her example Julia Child. Meryl Streep was so good as Julia. It was altogether a great show. I would go and see it again which is a first for me. I went with my good friend Deb. She is such a great friend and an inspiration to me.

My heart is heavy with the lack of direction in my life. It seems the more anxious I get the more pounds that find me. I am at an all time high in my weight. Heavier than I was with any of my children. I know my children and Mike say I am great but I know that even they can see my weight growing. I thank them for overlooking the picture they see before them. I know that they love me because they can see me from the inside.

I so feel like I want to be anywhere but where I am. I am not sure where that feeling is coming from but it is there. I know that Heavenly Father answers prayers and that I have the comforter with me. But, with all that is going wrong in the world both near and far, sometimes it is hard to feel. I am thankful for the positive examples before me, but I think my fibro fog is getting thicker or my excuses are getting stronger and stupider (if that is a word).

I am sorry for anyone who is reading this. It is where I am going to vent. Even over all that I feel I am going through I know that God lives and He knows me and He knows of my challenges. I also know that I have to open that door to feel of Him. I know that my Saviour is true and He did sacrifice Himself for me. I am sad that He went through such pain for the stupid things that I am going through right now. I love them and I am so grateful to belong to a church and to have a testimony as to the truthfulness of it.

Work is calling me. Ta ta for now.

Hi,

I recently stumbled upon your blog via a comment you left elsewhere.

I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how wonderful Sharon, Jackie and I still think you are. You and your husband were wonderful with the youth when you accompanied us to Girls Camp and on that temple trip to Toronto. You were a blessing to us and we talk about you, sometimes, with the fondest of memories, especially the year when you guys were the adult leaders for our fourth year overnight trip for Girls Camp. We love you and treasure those times. We honestly thought you were the coolest youth leaders.

I am so sad to read about the struggles you are facing. My mom has the same disease and I know it is extremely challenging for her as well. I'm praying for you.

Love,
Leeann (Morrow) Ward
