Keep reminding us all of the quote: YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT!!
Hang in there with us-we'll work together.
Laparshall and JanRN, please know that I appreciate you both. I have some of the same issues too. In spite of your own challenges, you have been some of the top cheerleaders for everyone else. Thank you for taking the time to encourage everyone. I hope I can, in some way, offer encouragement to you both. And, Yes We Can do it--together. We are doing better than we were a few months ago, and will be doing better a few months from now, but we will travel this road together. :-)
