Journal Entry for September 16, 2007 Mood
Sunday, September 16, 2007

I had a great day today at work, and a better night at home last night.  I wrote a post on the depression group page titled "suicide", and I told my story of what happened to me and what I have done to get back.  I then let my parents read it.  We literaaly sat in the floor crying happy tears for half an hour in a big group hug!  I just wanted them to know how much their love and support has meant to me.  That I am not here mooching off of them, I don't think they think I am, I do my share of grocery shopping and chores.  But, my mom told me I need to write a book about this kind of stuff.  She said my words were very meaningful.  I don't know how many people would really want to read about the trial and errors of my life, but I have always enjoyed writing, maybe someday, I'll be up there with Dr. Phil!  I believe my back is all better, no pain at all today, and I had a wonderful day just running things and helping people out.  I gave this couple a great deal on a washer and dryer, and I can't tell you how many times they asked my name and shook my hand.  I told them, unfortuantely I wouldn't be at this store next time they needed something, they said they will come to me new one!  For those of you that read my journal, I would really like you to check out that post, it is my life story, well 6 months of my life story that changed my world.  I am still amazed to this day at the way I have been able to turn around and make a differance in my life, and even help others deal with theirs.    I need to stop for now though, I am bidding on some ebay stuff and need to make sure I am still winning!  I'm getting to be addicted to that place!  I never ebayed when I lived in an apartment because I was afraid it would be left at my door and stolen, or I would have to drive to the post office to get it.  Gotta take advantage of the living with the fam stuff while I can, because it won't be too long before I have to start paying the real bills again.

Hugs to all!

    Glad to see you feeling well - if you have an interest in writing, then you have answered any questions you have about writing a book, all you have to do is start:)
