Eek, I'm sorry you've been having a hard time. I'll keep you, that little boy and his family in my prayers. I'll pray for cooler weather too, weather like this can really affect ones mood..........or is it just me? :)

It's a new day eek, and I hope it's a great one for you and everyone else. Smile, laugh out loud, make a funny face in the mirror and 'just keep swimming.'  Don't let others steal your peace, even if they hurt you. Say a prayer for them. That's how you get better, not bitter.   

I feel that maybe I should of been more specific about what I said about someone's words becuase there is someone out there that may think it is them and it is NOT.. I felt yesterday morning that I had a new start AGAIN and then I spoke to a friend ( my good friend for about 20 years, atleast I thought she was). I specifically asked her not to do something previously and she turned arround and did the complete opposite. I was just in shock and very upset at this, also hurt because I thought we were friends and we wouldn't do something like that to eachother, now I know the truth. 

I just wanted to clear this up so I don't hurt anyone's feelings if they read this, it was a totally different person and a totally different situation, and that is the God's honest truth.

I had a really bad day, too. I still can't believe what happened (I'm commiserating, not trying to steal your thunder or anything).  Hang in there. 

I think praying, chanting, talking with friends, or simply writing a journal about what you feel are very positive things to do.     When I'm having a bad day, I exercise and try to do things that make me happy, if it's a real bad day, I will talk to a friend about what's going on in my life. 

Whatever works for you EEK is what you should do, hang in there.  I'm an optimist, I think every day that passes for you will get better.  I'm sorry about your loss.

I believe in prayer 100% and yes I have thought of "other" ways but I am not that kind of person. I would never cause harm to anyone in anyway whatsoever, I am better than that. 

I have made some serious personal changes and changes with my children that are out of this world!! I never imagined this ever that I could be the kind of Mom I am today. My youngest son's teacher has even seen and dealt with this change and he praised me today and that felt wonderful!!! I do know for a fact that yes, now I can handle my kid's and my life by myself!! A couple of months ago there was no way!!

I'm sad your not having a good day, I say this not to be little anything, but the other day I was having a real hard time getting "in the mood" to walk out the front door & be a part of the world, nothing I was coming up w/ was helping, (which is rare). Finally, I thought......Well, At least I don't have a Hangover! That helped, sometimes you have to keep digging to find that one little thing, to help you keep going. Do you ever watch Joyce Meyer in the morning? She really gives me a positive "check up from the neck up." She's on 3 different times in the A.M.

I understand.

I know you want to do something more than prayer Eek, but prayer is more effective than you may think.  Prayer is the sending out of good vibes into the universe towards other people.  I don't know anyone that has too much in the way of positive life-force energy!  That's a very positive thing you are doing!  

And try not to be so hard on yourself about trusting.  Your trust was betrayed, and that is a terribly awful and painful thing.  But not everyone is like that, there are lots of good people around that can be trusted.  

Hang in there!!!

Eek, tomorrow may not be better.  But in time....it will be better.  Start taking baby steps toward where you want to be.  I'm not an expert at this.  But I do have my own life experiences.  I truly hope things start looking better soon for you.  I'm so sorry to hear about your son's friend.  Sometimes life sucks

sorry about the Jen thing.....blog confusion.
