Bless you! I am okay. Yesterday was really tough on me, as were the previous days of seeing my daughter in jail.

She had court yesterday and it was rough. She is kicked out of Drug Court and will have to return before the judge at a later date for her prison sentence. It was hard to see her shackled, and I was just hurting so much inside.
They did not allow her to talk and I did not like the judge saying they were giving up on her. I understand what is, but as long as a person has a breath IN them, there is hope. Giving up on any human life just does not wash with me. Not for my daughter or for anyone's loved ones.

Sorry I have been so scarce. Every little thing feels like an effort lately, and I am very tired. I am losing too much weight and my Lupus doc yesterday said he is getting concerned.

Time for me to slow down, sit in prayer and focus on the good. Just right now, it is tough.
Love and prayers and blessings to ALL of you. Thank you for thinking of me...I miss you all..

    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...
