Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

Resolution?

For the past year+ my most intense source of anxiety has been the court cases surrounding my 3 foster children after the traffic deaths of both parents on September 21st, 2019. State involvement has been intense. The bizarre social evolutions of Coronaville made that foreign territory of legal schmegal all the weirder. Wowza to the yeowza! Zoom zoom. . .


The "Case Closed" stamps and seals might be in place before the end of the week. Dare I hope life will be at least a little less stressful without the complications of State involvement?


Prayers in progress. . .

Arfie, that's going to be different, once all that paperwork is in the "Closed" file.

You are so strong, so compassionate, and so diligent in your efforts to maintain balance in the midst of all the changes within such a short amount of time.

Prayers for all of you!

Thanks guys. Prayers (by whatever name) muchly needed and appreciated.

The doomsayer puppet show inside my head is murmuring allot of rhetoric about being careful what I wish for, but? ? ? Starting a second parenting career at age 66 still feels daunting, but? ? ? Letting God lead the dance.

For now, I'm **just** trying to focus on small steps and hopes that all the small steps of the past 14 months have led us to some modicum of stability within these stormy seas. Just hoping.

Prayers ongoing. . .

Thank you. It would be lovely to have some closure on at least part of this long and tedious heartache. I think. At least in my dreams. We've seen more than one light at the end of this proverbial tunnel which turned out to be fast moving trains. What a long, strange trip it's been.

We see what grows. Que sera sera.

Praying for you, I know what its like to have no parents, my mother passed 2007 and my dad is as good as dead. I have seen him twice in my life. I am 33. Just stay strong and keep fighting, maybe you can like a bracelet with their names on it. Or go to the graveside and "talk to them". It will help with the grieving process.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
