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.

To some of you this may not seem incredible, but for some like me it has made me a true believer in my heavenly father, not that I wasn't already. I believe that God presented me with this journey at a time in my life where I felt as though I was in a very deep dark place.

I get to start tapering the evil prednisone, yes!!!! Doc says that I'm just one of those people that feel worse on prednisone and will be an easier patient for them to get off of it.

I'm glad for yesterday's vent. It was one of those days that you think about something so much that your mind goes numb. Have any of those? I'm positive as I sit here and type this that I can handle anything that comes my way. I may have to stop and throw my two year old tantrums from time to time, but if that is what it takes... By no means do I have any...1 Recommendation4 Comments
