Hello ANGELS,

First of all, I hope and pray that you are doing well. I have been absent from the site for a while, but I want you to know that you have still been in my thoughts and prayers. I have not forgotten about you, even though I'm sure it might have looked like it.

In high school my swim coach used to tell us, "Excuses are like buttholes--everyone has one." I'd like to apologize for my absence. I don't want to seem like i'm making excuses, but I do feel like you deserve an explaination why.

I did, what i now know in hindsight, a very stupid thing. Something that I had previously begged and pleaded with others NOT to do: I went off of ALL my medications. Cold turkey.

Needless to say, I suffered some serious reprecusions, both physically and mentally. But thankfully, and by the Grace of God, I am doing about a thousand times better now!!!

I'd really like to hear how you are doing. Any news, questions,updates, triumphs, concerns, etc.  Also, at this time I'd also like to ask if anyone would like to become an administrator for the group, just in case God forbid anything like this were to happen again.

I hope again that you are doing well, and that you can find it in your heart to forgive me for my prolonged absence. I feel like I have let you and all the ANGELS down. I pray that you are doing well, and I look forward to hearing from you soon! God bless you!

With Love,
Starynite

Hello Angels!

As always, I hope that every one is doing well, and able to find some comfort during their daily struggles.  I know that so many of us are suffering, but I hope that you are able to find some words of empathy and encouragement here :)

I apoligize once again, because lately there just doesn't seem to be enough energy for me to complete all of my daily tasks. I've really been struggling in my heart, because I know I have neglected this group, and I realize know that I really do need to make it more of a priority in my life.  I hope you all know that even when I'm not on, I'm still constantly thinking about all of you and praying for you. Each one of you is so special to me in more ways than you will ever know :)

But enough of  myself! Lets talk about you! In the past, we've talked about having a "buddy system."  Right now seems a good time to start it--we can have "Easter Buddies!"  I will send all group members an email assigning them to a buddy.  If you do not wish to participate, or if your buddy is MIA or maybe doesn't respond as much as you'd like them to, then just send me an email and I will assign you a new buddy. Hopefully, we will be able to end up with a group of buddies who want to participate w/o too much trouble.

So wat does an Easter Buddy do? Well, they deliever words of kindsness, send messages, hugs, and keep in contact.  Basically, the idea is for you and your buddy to get to know each other, and to help each other during times of need. "Two are better than one, for if one falls then the other can pick him up."  My hope for this new buddy system is that you are able to find someone to help pick you up on your bad days and share your good days with.  We have have different experiences, and our personal tribulations and triumphs might really be able to help your buddy in their time of need.

And rememeber A.N.G.E.L.S stands for A Networking Group Earnestly Lending Support!  So hopefully, this buddy system will help you find and give the support we all need! 

Take care and God bless you all!

Love always,

Starynite :)
