just checking in after some more days of struggle, but it always feels safe to come back to such a supportive place here. Lots of family stress that is slowly getting better, but so unhappy with myself that I let old destructive eating habits happen yet again as a coping mechanism, when I know very well that never workds. Anyway, I am back OP today and trying to hang in there one day at a time. Wishing everyone a joyous Sunday and a good start to the new week. SIncerely, maajida
Uki, I so understand your "spiritual slump". I was there last fall when we had all the problems with our pastor. He has moved on but the church hasn't healed yet. We still ask each other on Sat. night or Sun. morning "are we going to church today?" and still sometimes the answer is I don't really care. Hoping that we all get over it and focus on the real reason that we get together with our church families.
Just now see that I haven't posted again! I think I'm getting senile! LOL! I've been on the computer doing some work for my husband this afternoon and haven't had a chance to "play" on the computer any!!!!
I've been OP for the day. Need to go finish the rest of my points before bedtime! I'm way late tonight since I have been so busy on the computer!
Carrie, good luck with the teaching job! Wow! To have two slots available and one so close to home is great. Hope you'll get one of the positions!
Pat, I have cleaned my closet and storage bins, too! Now I have one of my spare beds covered with jeans, etc. and I sent clothes home with one sister in January! I guess these might go to Goodwill! Wish I had someone I knew they would fit. It's like getting rid of old friends, though! LOL! My new friend collection is still on the small scale. Can't afford to buy much at the time!
Uki, I know the feeling of the church situation, too. They changed our Sunday School to 8:00 a.m. and things are still a mess. I haven't been in about three Sundays now. We went to my son's chuch about 35 miles from here this a.m. and really enjoyed it. We had been there once before. I don't know if our church will ever get back to normal or not! I hate to think I'll have to drive so far to go and enjoy a service. Our oldest daughter and her family have gone twice, too and they really like it. They have been going to the same church as we have for all these years! It's hard to get back in to fellowship once a bond has been broken!
I didn't mean to go on and on......
Maaj, it's good to see you on here for a minute! Hang in there. We haven't forgotten you! Hope things will settle down for you soon and things can get back to some kind of "normal" for you. Don't quit the race. We never let the "rats" win!!
Gotta go eat a snack and get to bed!!! Why have I waited so LATE!! UGH!!
Hi Diane..thanks for your sweet post no matter how late it is. To be remembered and cared for so individually means alot...thanks for responding to each of us. I took comfort from your words. Still OP at the end of the day...thanks again, maaj
