For those of you who know me well, you picked up on the fact that last week was a very stressful week for me.  Thanks again for the texts and phone calls all in an effort to check in on me.  As usual, I had a lot of balls in the air and a ball or two dropped.  We all have those days, don't we?

Well, there is the proof that I am human - I know some of you often doubt that...:))  I like to think that I am a machine and not allow some things to get to me, but sometimes it just doesn't work out that way.  Compounded with all of that is the fact that, like you, I have incredibly high expectations of myself.  Does any of this sound familiar?  I think it's something we can all relate to and I know we've all been there a time or two . . . or ten...;))  You just have to pick-up, dust yourself off, and move forward.

We often tell one another, as a measure of encouragement, to not quit.  Well, sometimes you do . . . and that's ok.  Yes . . . M2 just said it's ok to quit.  BUT (you knew there would be a "but"), do not let it take you down for more than a couple of days.  Don't let life's struggles and stresses get the best of you because before you know it, those few days will turn into weeks, then six weeks, and then three months later you are going to wonder how you got buried so deep in that hole.  It is easy to get stuck there, however, it's also easy to get out - you just don't have a choice, you have to get over it.  And I'm over it...:))

Thanks again for checking on me, friends.  You are important to me and I apologize if I was short with you or just not all there mentally.  I'm back and I'm back in a BIG  way . . . see you soon!


Have a great week...:))

    I smiled as I read this knowing that some of this was meant for me! ;) I can't lie, it has been difficult to pick myself up after this very long "life break" and dust myself off but I'm grateful to have found you at a time that I probably needed you most! I don't ever want you to think that what you say to me to motivate me has ever been meant to be hurtful. I know that you are only doing what you feel is best for someone that is asking for help. If I didn't want to hear what you had to say, I would have never come back....but guess what...I'm here to stay until every freakin' emotional piece of chocolate and chips and salsa is off my a..! :) Margie you are a warrior & you rock! Luv ya!

    I always seem to be out of the loop, but I believe in you and whatever decisions you make will work. Hey if we don't believe in ourselves who will?

    Some of the best words of wisdom I have heard from you, and over the 11 years I have heard ALOT!. Thank you for this and you are still a machine...one that can give a licking and keep on ticking. I appreciate all you do and the idea of dust yourself off and move forward should be an every day mantra. You rock!
