About Me
Living life with my wife, who has fibromyalgia. Our children are Mandy, Cody, Tinker and Magic...two canines, and two felines. The fall garden is still feeding us a bit of arugula in our salads. Already looking forward to spring planting.

I started a 12 week weight loss contest at work. This is starting our third week. Watching what you eat and activity level is very important! We can both do this!

Moment of Peace
I just meant for encouragement not anything more. But I am glad you are back! DS s great. Sometime we meet some people that are very difficult to be friends with. If a person was at the root of you leaving remember it is so much better to cut them out of your life rather than leaving. If you or them can not overcome the issues. My friend that I asked you about helping. I blieve she is doing better now. She has cancer and that is not good. She has been fighting it forever. After my mother died on Thanksgiving day I lost some touch with some friends. though I have come on here everyday I could not keep up with daily hugs and journals. Journals have so much pain in them. Anyway,,,I am much better now and starting to try to keep touch with many. I would like to include you. You know I sent many messages to all of my friends. I was real surprized when you did not answer. But many did ot. Hard to clean out names though of people you connected with and would like to again but it is a two way street. I just do not yet have that kind of energy to work that hard at trying to continue relationships that others long for got about. And what if someone needed to hear exactly what I can say due to my experiences that might renew their hope for a better future. The responsibility is large. Most people sure would not stew over such darn issues like I do. LOL! sorry this turned into this but....just writing what is on the mind. Just wanted to say thanks for answering. I hope you have found some peace and are back to feeling great soon. Anytime you want to talk...I am willing to listen. Love Rhea
