Thank you for the hugs and the prayers, Kitt! I am getting ready to take my morning walk and I will think of and pray for you as well. septembergirl...
Thank you for your reply, Liz! I'm sure you are right when you say I was feeling the loss of my mom more acutely. I don't think I have ever fully dealt with it and am in counseling right now because...
I just returned from a vacation in Maine with my family, my dad and my stepmom. It was an amazingly beautiful place. It was also a very emotional trip for me because my dad and mom (who died of...
Hi, I'm Sarah. I am 38 years old, married and have 3 boys. Ethan is 9 and loves the outdoor, nature, playing in the creek and football. Jacob is 8, very creative, loves school and enjoys baseball....
I also live in the Atlanta area...lucky enough to no longer have to deal with the commute into the city, though. My kids don't have a pool, but they cool off and bring me many creatures from a creek...
I am soooooooooooo happy for you, Tammy! I thought of and prayed for you while I was on my walk yesterday. I, too was looking forward to seeing how it went for you. Once you know there IS NOTHING...
I walk in the mornings after I have a cup of coffee. That's when I do my praying and I said a special one for Tammy in Ohio.:) I'm originally from northern Indiana and have a lot of family in Ohio,...
Tammy, I understand your feelings and fears. I was convinced (thanks to Google) that I had cancer and/or other terminal conditions and went to the doctor with a legal size piece of paper filled with...
I'm with bluemeanies on this one...Grateful Dead moves me on the inside. I've also been listening to Michael Houser's "Sandbox"...my kids even like this CD. I have really gotten into Nelly Frutado's...
Tammy, I read your original post and could really relate to your feelings of fear, thoughts of having some terminal illness and the panic/anxiety that goes with those feelings. I too have been...
Faith is a belief in things not seen...so, in a way, it is blind. But, for many people, that belief is what gives them strength and the feeling that they are not alone....
Lyn, Our day at the lake was great. The kids swam and we hiked on trails and over an old wooden covered bridge and the day was beautiful. A friend of mine ended up joining us with her two kids and I...
Oakley, I pray EVERY morning for Jesus to fill me with His peace, love and strength. It is what gets me out of bed and I pray throughout the day for others, which takes the focus off of myself (the...
You know, I think saying I feel guilty is the wrong term. You were both more right in saying that I feel "it's too good to be true/when is it going to happen again". I pray for peace and strength...
I have been struggling with anxiety and panic, have started taking zoloft (about 2 1/2 weeks ago) and have had a few days in a row that I have actually begun my days feeling pretty good...mornings...
Lyn, Thank you so much for your message! Each time one of those "little victories" is won, I tell the anxiety part of my mind/emotions that they are not winning. My peaceful mind and heart WILL win...
Dear Kitt, You are so right...fear keeps us from putting one foot in front of the other. I have three very active children that make it necessary, but no less difficult. Each time I do, though, it is...
Dear Kitt and others who have replied: Thank you so much for replying! I feel blessed to have found this forum. I just had a full physical (with blood work, x-rays, the works) and everything looked...
I have been dealing with horrible anxiety for a couple of months now and my latest symptom has been pain under my arm. Of course, I put in a search in Google and I have every terminal illness under...
