Hey my friends, Been feeling really good this week getting up early going to appointments really making some possitive changes in my life.
Got a call this morning, a family freind I went to school with etc was killed in a car accident last night and no-one is doing real well. I cant help cause everyone is spead out all of the country. He has a very close family ( that we know ) dont want to call cause they have all only just found out cause no-one could get in contact with them. I am feeling useless and guilty we didn't keep in touch.
wont be able to make it to any funeral cause it would be 1400 km away and I have no money and need to look after the kids.

Shi%^&y Feelings.
Just needed to vent

I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your school friend. I don't think you should feel guilty about not being able to attend the funeral, ppl will understand. I'm sure if you rang the family or emailed them or sent a card expressing your condolences and that you can't attend, they will understand.

You know it funny it's times like this I just want to curl up and sleep, but then another part of me wants to get on with it all, start really getting the help I need and concentrate on what I have cause who knows how long you are going to have it for, I keep thinking of his twin brother, I have a sister and we were allways considered twins cause we are so close, what would I do if it were her, or anyone in my family, I would like to think although this is so rore I will take full advantage of what I have and deal with the cards I have been dealt cquse how many chances do we get?
Thankyou to everyone out there you are an amazing group and I look forward to being able to vent it really does make things feel better.

Yep, the loss of someone close to you certainly does make you look at the world in a different perspective. I know when I lost my mom my perspective certainly changed. A lot of the things that used to bug me were no longer important anymore.

Life is short as it is.........live it to the fullest I reckon

Hugs I say,reach out and touch someone it helps to know others care and see if they r sending money to their fave charity as part of the funeral arrangements,or whatever, etc.Sending love and prayers in your time of grieving!!!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
