I appreciate all the kindness and friendship from everybody here. I had so many thoughts going on in my head the last two days. I think I was suffering from post vacation blues. Life is great on vacation because you do not have to deal with reality and difficult people.

I thought about how the best, sweetest, most wonderful and kind hearted people I have ever met suffered with depression or bipolar disorder. Some of the meanest people I have ever met could be considered "successful" by this word's standards. How strange. Knowing that not everyone here shares my spiritual beliefs, I do obtain much comfort from my spiritual beliefs in God when nothing else around me makes sense. I am drawn to a verse in the Bible Matthew5:5 "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." I believe that in God's world the little and the weak will be the greatest and the mean people who think they are proud and strong will be brought down. Just my thoughts.

I believe if I read my Bible and pray more, I will have greater ability to cope with things. I know that God does not like gossip and ugly things. I also realize I cannot control other people and what they do. I can only control myself. With prayer and reliance on the Lord I will try to be the best person I can be at work and everywhere else, do the best job I can, walk away from the gossip and ugly things, and trust that God will be by my side.
Thanks for this!
