I don't really know what to say today, I've had such an odd couple of days. I should have shared it here with you all and benefited from your encouragement, but I was afraid no one would be here this weekend and that would have been worse -- to have no one answer my post when I needed to hear from people! Silly, I know, but that's what I was thinking.
I have been told I have the gift of encouragement; if that is true, I had to practice it on myself the past few days! I was partially successful, but not entirely. Let's just say I was feeling pretty down and out for awhile. I'm glad I was able to talk to some of my friends about it, and that helped a lot. I apologize for not sharing more here in this forum, because I have always found it a real honor and privilege to be able to give some comfort to a friend who is hurting, and I didn't give you all the same opportunity to do that for me this time.
I promise I'll share my troubles openly next time, so my friends can help me! :-)
I'm in good shape now, I am happy to say. It wasn't anything in particular that was wrong, just life catching up with me, I think, feeling unsettled, not getting enough rest, and anticipating the stress that is coming my way with our busy season at the office upon us.
I just want to say I appreciate you all and value you as friends, and I love this community we have together. Thanks for being there, (((((all my friends))))
