Survive and conquer! Expression is the opposite of depression.

What a great blog. My first entry-post. More to come, as I enthusiastically embrace this opportunity to connect. Thanks!

Hey JoElle! How are you? Great to hear from you - it's been a LONG time!

The Methodist group kind of fell apart. For a long while I was the only one who would show up, and I wasn't willing to continue sacrificing family time if no one else was going to come.

I still talk to Richard quite often and Dave sometimes.

I miss the group and would love to get something going again. Maybe there are enough folks here to get something organized? I'm up for it!

You need to check out the whole list of groups to find that one....not sure I know who is in that group. We all just kinda go where we seem to feel comfortable. I know how you feel about the high bs's in the morning, mine have been up some this week, stress and waiting for my vacation to start. Glad to have you here, this is a great place for support, we all know what you are going thru and will help anyway we can.
