Ok, so it has been almost 3 years since anyone posted to this thread, but I just have to say--thank you for the encouragement in this! It gives me some ideas of what I can do and ways I can think and change my attitude!
OOOhhh, it has been too long since I have been here! Life has been so crazy! I forgot what good info I get from here and how wonderful it is to listen to like minded people--reminds me I am not alone in the way I think!
