leah: good for you wanting to make changes! Take baby steps and pat yourself on the back with each one.

vj: Hope the stress lessens and that your pdoc is wise enough to understand not just what you say, but what you don't say.

Denise: still here for you, hope it gets better.

busiemommie: hope you find the play-doh and the strength to forgive.

Clive: I got up enough courage to commit to volunteering two afternoons a week. I make myself go even if I don't want to, and I've found that once I'm there I really enjoy being around people who just want to make other people's lives better. Hope that helps, and I hope you feel better.

BlackPup: hope you get some sleep soon, but glad you're looking at it positively! You get a groan for that last joke and a hug, too..

Innerzone: peaceful, soothing vibes coming your way.

melissa: fingers crossed!

me...not so depressed as yesterday, didn't fall asleep until 3:30 am, but slept for 6 hours (good enough). Now I'm thinking it's only a couple hours until I go volunteer and that just doesn't seem like enough time to be productive, so I guess I won't. Now, if I could just figure out a way to lose the guilt...
