Monday Morning; "The Start of a New Life" Well......all is done. Mom's funeral, burial, her bills are paid, furniture moved out, etc. Now begins my new life. I'll never forget mom, or my dad (he died in 1982), but mom's death made a change in me. I'm going to treat myself, Margaret and others better. (Not that I've ever been hurtful to anyone) I joined a gym...
As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess! I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok. When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...

Wednesday Morning ... I can't believe how many PM's and replies to my last journal I received! You guys are truly great. ... I wasn't looking for the, "Oh please Joey, don't leave us" thing. I'm just very hurt over how the 3 people that were my friends would attack me because I'm a Republican. I never said anything bad about Obama or Democrats. I even wished Ob...
Friday Morning OK....I'm doin' better. I sat and talked with someone about all the crap running around in my head. I gotta tell ya.....I feel much better! This person I talked with said that I should do something special for my self. I've done enough work and suffering. My mom wouldn't want me to be down like I was. Ya know what I did?

Hello my love, I just wanted to tell you we made it through Thanksgiving and all of our children and our granddaughter were here together. It went well I had your candle lit at the table as I do with any holiday it makes me feel as if you are here somehow with your family. I took April shopping and to get her hair done got her some things she would not be able to get herself and she was happy to ...
Well I'm sure happy this week is almost done. It's been rough, but great at the same time. This morning, I will be leaving to get the blood work, to determine if my PCP should change my meds, for my newly diagnosed, Diabetes. I've been doing quite well, but since my Mother's accident, well it kinda disrupted my eating habits so, now that she is doing better, I don't have to be there ...
Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the mil...
Hello to all of the members of Daily Strenght. It has been a very strange last 6 months here at DS, but I am to fast to think that things could and can be back to the way they were in 2007. Ever since 2008 has started, this place felt more like a battle field than a place where we once felt like it was our Haven. Do I dare to think that this Preditor is gone and gone for good. I will start coming her...
