- I am going to try out the Chat Room this Sunday and if all goes well (and that means if I can figure out how to even get into and participate in a Chat Room), I will be accepting the role of mediator in the Chat Room on Thursday afternoon and early...
- Just read an amazing article which so applies to all of us. I will not quote it word for word but I am going to pick and choose portions I find appropriate. Hope it speaks to all of you as it did to me.(1) STOP SPENDING TIME WITH THE WRONG...
- SOMETHING I JUST SAW ON PINTEREST: OPTIMIST; SOMEONE WHO FIGURES THAT TAKING A STEP BACKWARD AFTER TAKING A STEP FORWARD IS NOT A DISASTER, IT'S MORE LIKE A CHA-CHA.Guess, I am doing a little dancing today. Hugs to any of you Cha Cha...
- This message is an open letter to those of you who are further along and have found Peace. I have found support, wisdom and strength here and honestly thought I had topped the hill and had at least reached a plateau where I could rest emotionally...

- I have been very active on this site this week and have verbalized by feeling in replies to discussions and in personal messages to one of you who was so kind as to listen and reply encouragingly. Tonight I am feeling drained. I am not sad. I am...
- In case anyone wonders, this is what I would look like if I was 30 years younger, French and had a mustache. This was an oil painting which came into our thrift store and I bought it because it reminded me of a younger, French me. I have red hair...
- This is something I am really struggling with. I have a need to vent but KNOW my family and friends have heard enough! I can't count how many times I have heard I don't what to talk about this….you just need to let it go. You are just getting...
- Sometimes I think part of my problem is my "Norman Rockwell" expectations of family life.Seems like anytime I visualize any type of family get together, I harbor visions of perfect, Norman Rockwell dinners, Norman Rockwell vacations, Norman Rockwell...
