      Thanks for sticking by me.

      I decided a long, long time ago that when given a challenge, I would look for the bright side of it. Humor is a huge part of my life.. I've never been a drama queen.. and fine for those who are. It's all about what one gets out if it, isn't it? I am and always have been self aware and I know I can't fool myself. Sure I'm down at times but not without a fight.. and I come out of those fairly quickly.
      Anyway.. though I do admit to being religiously challenged, I do love the serenity prayer.

      Thanks Linnie.. I left a msg with a disability attorney from the "disabilitysecrets" site. I know they'll take a cut but what I calculate from my SDI statement, it's so worth that amount. I would love to be working still myself.. I worked for 36 years, I figured out this morning. I miss the interaction and as shy and socially adverse as I am, somehow in that role of being in charge, I could push it down. However toward the end of my career, I was so scattered and sleep deprived. I worked at two places for less than a year after quitting my high stress job.. the first I was almost fired and the second, I was. It was so disheartening having once been so capable. I totally relate, in any case :) ~Vikki
