Hello Lots. Well I had my 86th birthday on the 15th. My TOPS ladies had a catered luncheon after the meeting for me. I had more birthday cakes. They cut into Russ's nose again today. They saw something they did not like. He looks like a mummy. Did Zen ever return? How are you feeling? I hope you are getting better and stronger each day. Take good care of yourself. HUGS,Ree

Hello dearest Ellen. Love your page background.
I am missing my mother terribly today.
Sounds like you are doing well. I hope you enjoy your new digs and that Zen finds his way home.
I still have gotten only one window washed and really need to stay on task this coming week. I think I read somewhere you aren't supposed to wash windows when the sun is shining on them because it increases streaks....hmmmm.
Take care. So good to have you back.

Lots,thinking of you like all your friends .I hope Chris's leg is better and you are feeling much better.I hope Zen has shown up..Has anyone moved into your old place.Is there any slim chance that Zen darted back in without anyone seeing her-and is hiding in a closet..just hoping.
I like the idea Joanne had.Lets ask St. Anthony -I will put out a reminder to keep asking him this week-end.I can be quite the pest :) Maybe he will answer :) God Bless..

Dear Lots. Thinking of you. Did Zen come home? I am praying so hard. If there are any bushes near you haved the boys check them out. This is my last day with Chico. He goes North tomorrow and will be back late October. We will miss him. I know you are upset over Zen but how are you feeling? I hope you are taking it easy. Sit down and point to Chris and Jesse where you want things placed. We three got haircuts this morning. Take good care. Praying hard for you. HUGS,Reed

Thinking of you & hoping you find Zen. Tat happened to us when we still had Kaylee. I know how upsetting it can be. I'll say a prayer To St Anthony who Is the Patron Saint of things lost. If you want you can too...

Saint Anthony, imitator of Jesus, who received from God the special power of restoring lost things, grant that I may find (mention your petition) which has been lost. As least restore to me peace and tranquility of mind, the loss of which has afflicted me even more than any material loss.

My Baba (Russian Grandma) would say ...
Something's lost and can't be found
Please, St. Anthony, look around.

Hope Zen shows up soon, your move goes well & you start feeling lots better.

Dear Ellen. Been thinking about you. Chico is curled up on the desk. Did you find Zen? I so hope I will hear he came home.When Tom lost Frankie a neighbor found him in the bushes. How are you feeling? I hope you are getting stronger every day. I hope I get a message ZEB IS HOME. Chico goes North Saturday. We will miss him. You are in my Prayers. A big hug, Reed

Hi Lots. I just now read your original post where you told about the awful accident with the crate. I'm glad you're going back daily to find her; good luck!

Lots.coming by to ck on any word on Zen.If there are any cars or boats that are parked-sometimes cats will hide under there.I wish they would not hide there but they do sometimes.Just thinking of you-will ck by later.

and look up in trees too.

Lots,have not been on the computer all day-but just checking in real quick before going to sleep..I went to Gator's page and saw your note.Am so sorry about the fall and Zen getting out..She can't have gone far.Continue to get the word out to neighbors..Since she is so tame,she will go up to someone..and they can get her back to you.Cat's are pretty smart and she may even work her way back to her home.Gator is right about the putting out the food and water too.I really feel she will show up.I think your doing this-but besides the shelter-call the near by vets office.I had a little dog that got lost once and this kind woman saw that the dog looked lost-read the tag and took her to the vet.I got the call to come get her..
Take it as easy as you cam friend.God Bless You..

Dear Ellen. That is so sad. I hope you find Zen. Put a dish of her favorite food by the door. She might be in a bush. I hope she returns. You do not sound so great yourself. DO NOT OVERDO let the guys do it. Rome was not built in a day. It is important that you get back to good health. I will pray hard that Zen returns. TOPS tomorrow. I do the Program...DOWN MEMORY LANE with Reed. They want to ban guns I heard this in the fight against obesity BAN FORKS KNIVES AND SPOONS. LOL. Have a good night.GUGS,Reed

hi Lots, say, we're gonna get you in the CT eventually. lol. I asked emily and there's some kind of snafu right now with adding new people. we have a new teen member there, and she's been welcoming all the new teens. gee those bassett hounds are cute. I've always liked them, actually I'm a hound gal anyway. we had a Norwegian Elkhound. he was such a cute puppy, people would stop their cars in the middle of the street and roll their windows down to say"what an adorable dog". he was so friendly with strangers, such a good boy, Archie was. hope you're continuing to get a little better every day. don't try to do too much at the new place. there's plenty of time.

I am trying to come up with benefits to having diabetes, so that when things get tough, I can think of them and they can give me strength.

One benefit that I have come up with is that I have developed a sense of compassion.

I had an eye-opening experience the other day listening to someone make light of a person that had a mental disorder. They were using them as the butt of a joke. Having a mental disorder myself, unknown to them, I did not think the comments…

Keep smiling

As some of you know I have bipolar disorder. Sometimes I swing into depression. In spite of the awesome autumn weather and the realization that there is absolutely nothing to be upset about, things are not right with me at present.

I am already on a bunch of medications to control my moods, most of them are really toxic, Abilify, Depakote for mood stabilization, Cymbalta and Klonopin for anxiety and depression and Modafinil to keep me awake because the other ones cause a slow…

There are so many people here, enduring so much, yet having a great attitude and a great outlook on life that is so encouraging to me. What are your personal motivators and things or habits that keep you going strong?
