I'm here Jeanne. How are you doing today? How's the storms going? Are you alright?

Hey there! Just arrived after a long harrowing drive through tropical storm Fay (yes, she is still alive!) Lucky for me, the hotel has internet access! How are you doing? Are you getting storms, too?

Hello Jeanne, I truly did get up & go to yoga class this eve, then took dog to the doggie park. Looked for you earlier. Watch over your shoulder for Hanna, I'll keep my eyes on Gus, and we'll report back to each other. Got gasoline in your town?

Hi guys, I am in and out tonight. How is everyone?

Hey, Big D / WW, glad you popped by. How are yoou doing? Would you like some iced tea?

I'm glad to see you guys are coming here slowly. I'm feeling so much better right now. I have released some of the pressures. Read my journal for more info. Day 60 and counting.

Mmmm, thanks Ptriss, I would love some tea! Jeanne glad you are feeling better. I have not read your journal but I will.

im here, though im not very interesting tonight

Jeanne, I just read your journal and commented. I am so sorry you are having these troubled times. You have to know in your heart that things will get better sweetie. We're all here for you my friend.

Hi from hot hot hot Arizona Jeanne- I just got home from a meeting at my daughters school about her trip to Spain next summer. 35 high schoolrs that are advanced in Spanish go over every summer and Erica is going next summer- so of course, I messaged Dunsmokin to see what she thinks of the itinerary. Its a bundle of money for the trip so I better start working my butt off. Good thing I don't smoke anymore!!!

Jeanne- I'm sorry you're feeling sad- things will get better won't they? Everyone here loves you and you're doing so good on your quit- you should be happy at your accomplishment. If I was in Florida I'd pop by your house w/some flowers and chocolates for us to indulge in-

I hope you cheer up soon my friend but either way- be good to yourself.... Debbie

Jeanne. thank you for sharing your story. I just can't imagine how emotionally drained you must feel. Hurting yourself will not solve the problem. You have so much to be proud of including holding the family together and staying smoke free!! Sign onto DS when you feel down and we will be here for you!

Hey Girl... what's going on? Just logged in for the night. Can't stay long but just wanted to wish you a good night! You will be in my thoughts and prayers!!!!

TrvBill may be packing up. He'll probably have to evacuate, or atleast be ready to. They seem pretty sure a cat 3 & headed to LA. Jeanne, maybe we should meet outside under the moon and perform deCAT dance? God bless all in G's path.

Hi jeanne: I just read your journal. You have so
much to deal with right now, and are overwhelmed.
It is very hard to go to the cemetary. I am sorry
for your loss. I know you feel down and sad right
now; but we never know what is around the corner.
Hurting yourself will keep you from the good times
ahead. I know about depression and thinking like
you are. It is hard. Sometimes it helps me to just
snuggle up in a comfy quilt and imagine my mother
stroking my hair. I just tell myself over and over
that it will be all right; everything will be all right; everything will work out. Yes, it is bad
right now; but things will work out. Sometimes I just pet my dog and hold her close. Other times
I will hug a little teddy bear I have. (no laughing) I know I am 52 years old; but all of us
have a little child inside that hurts sometimes and
needs comfort. Jeanne: You are unique. There is no one else just like you in the world. You are here for a reason, even if you do not know what it is? You will find a way to comfort yourself and
get your strength back. I believe in you. I care.

Thank you all for your kind and loving and caring words. I do feel better and I appreciate all of your help and support.
