Fighting the Fight Again
I've been struggling again with depression. I've decided to try talk therapy in addition to medication. My days have been filled with tears and with an overwhelming sadness for many months now. I hope that the new medications and the therapy will make a big change in me. My singular joy in life has been visiting with my grandson.

I'm concerned about how he's going to be getting back and forth to the train station for school, as I'm still not driving. Brandi's afghan is finished. It turned out nicely, I think.

Well, if this isn't one of the most beautiful family pictures I ever saw... It just says it ALL, doesn't it?! God is very good to us Jeannie! Well.. Actually, I'm gonna say a prayer tonight that maybe he'll do me a little bit EXTRA good.. I think I caught strep throat from Dear Daughter.. The first test came up negative, but the first one ALWAYS DOES. But I ran a fever of 101 tonight, so SOMETHING'S not right! I may have to call them back in the morning.. We'll see. Dear Daughter's taking good care of me, bringing me motrin, and ice cream, and all kinds of goodies! I may have caught some kind of flu/bug.. or whatever, but I'm still well enough to count my blessings! (0; I'm gonna say a prayer of thanks... And then I'm heading to bed EARLY!.. By the way, it's just my little ol' opinion, if it matters any at all, but I think you should frame this one! ((hugs)) ~tina
