Confusing

These things are confuing for us all. I want to believe those who can understand can help us. I feel some help sometimes but I feel more alone now than ever.

Scurrie learning to weather being alone is just a good thing to do if you can swing it. Eventually, getting time to be alone can be a welcome thing and enjoyable.

    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...
