Even though there are so many encouraging posts here, I've been feeling like my emotions were finally catching up with me. I've been putting them on the back burner lately and felt like I was going to implode. I think it's the normal process of things, but it still sucks.

I walked to our little hang-out with some friends last night and really enjoyed myself. I have a more positive outlook now and hopefully that will stay around for a while.

The power of friends! I hope everyone else is having a good day as well. ((((HUGS))))
