Hi all - I can't believe that it is November already. Time is cerainly flying by. I have not been doing much. But, I am happee to say that my meds are working and I am feeling much better. I am still very tired but I am not aching as much.

Things at work are still busy. We are suppose to be in our down season but I have not seen that happening. I am grateful to have my job when so many others are without. I was walking down the street today after I parked my car at a meter. I needed to go to the pharmacy and I got a chicken burger platter (I know I should not have), from Deluxe French Fries. There is a soup kitchen across from my work and it is very, very busy. As I walked by a man and a woman who were sitting on the grass beside the sidewalk, the woman said "oh dinner - is that for us?" I just continued walking, feeling bad. Then the woman said "you are suppose to say - if you had a job you could get your own". I was then feeling even worse. I could ask the question why are some people challenged so much more than others, but I know the answer. We are all challenged but in different ways. My challenges are not like yours and yours are not like mine. I feel blessed to be able to get through a day at a time right now and I also feel blessed to have a doctor who cares.

I went to Scrapgala a couple of weeks ago. WOW!! It was awesome. We had two wonderful teachers. One was Lorene from California representing Kaiser Craft and Leica representing Canadian Scrapbooking also teaching about Tattered Angel Glimmer Mist. Just to be with my scrap buddies was great. We are a close group. I love scrapping. I love making memories that all of you will someday be thankful for. I can hardly wait for Saturday for the "grand opening" day crop for the ScrapShack. I am so excited for Deb.

I really have some work to do tonight but I worked so hard at it yesterday that I am really tired of it. I hate doing the accounting thing at home. I missed going to conference this weekend in Fredericton. I have to say I felt really bad for that. I should have been more persistant that I wasn't going to work. I am grateful for my family and friends who don't judge me when I make wrong choices.

Well, I guess I should go and get in my jammies and decide what I need to do. I wish I could get back at my scraproom but David has been helping and doesn't like me very much right now. The things I need done, require help of stronger people. Perhaps I can get that done sometime soon. I really want my own room.

Thanks for all those who read this. I just want you all to know that I know that God lives and He has a daily influence in my life. I am so grateful for the path he has shown me and I continually pray for guidance to have the strength to follow that path. I love my family and I am grateful for all of them. Take care. Remember, only you can choose to make this a great day!!!
