SivartM Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 It's quite all right... it's just that now I have to be depressed two days in a week. Hey... that's a depressing thought!

But, how can we cheer you up anyway Rudywoofs? Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Administrators Gail Posted January 18, 2010 Administrators Posted January 18, 2010 Pam, I had my turn of struggles. For years my family had its turn. We had to deal with poverty, ill health and serious relational and emotional issues that has left us all wounded. Even just yesterday an old friend called me up and reminded me again how much better I look these days, because I was just so ill back then. For years. But now that things are good, and while they are good, I want to give joy as much as I can. It only takes a moment for circumstances to change. I don't take anything for granted- our jobs and whatever things we use, our family and our health. Because I have suffered, I will praise because God helped us through it. And that part is a personal experience that I believe everyone can have. After all, He invites us to Him. I don't know what the Lord has in store for you through this, but hang on to Him. He has helped you before and will continue to do so. It's just hard to see it or understand when your mind is low. But I pray for you that you would get some relief. I will keep praying, too, and lifting you up. Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Woody Posted January 18, 2010 Author Posted January 18, 2010 I'm not depressed. I'm tired of feeling unwanted. I think that this forum has for real and genuinely demonstrated that you are cared for and wanted here. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Administrators Gail Posted January 19, 2010 Administrators Posted January 19, 2010 I can understand that... It would be one thing to tell you that you are wanted. I mean, you definitely are here... You have had a few major changes to your life recently and the stress that comes with that. You have had more things taken away perhaps that given to you. One big one is your livelihood and people to interact with day by day on a personal, face-to-face level. What could be a new beginning for you for where you are now? Something where people can be blessed somehow by who you are. We are one place but there has to be more Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

GreatLakesGramma Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 This is not a depressing day for me. It never is. It's the best day of the year for me, because it's my birthday. And this year it's extra-special. I was born in 1955, and I am now 55 years old. Quote Catherine God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26.
