deli, i love this thread of yours because even though you just went thru something so tough you aren't letting it stop you. you are celebrating your victories and continuing all your hard work. i'm going to copy you. i've had a rough few days with a stupid Rx problem and feel like i had my own little mind snap. but everything else is going well so even tho yesterday (today? still haven't gotten to sleep yet) was horrid i'm going to keep going with my schooling and other good things i have going on lately. like you i'm amazed that things are starting to come together even tho i'm just at the very beginning of it. it's so easy for me to get discouraged and give up and i think i'm finally starting to get past that. we don't have to let the crummy stuff stop us in our tracks.
