Carol - Lovely pictures! and ((hugs)) about the health insurance I hope it is resolved swiftly.

Mary - Take care of your self and we will all still be here when you return. I hope you feel better soon.

karen, i'm actually not sure how bad i am doing. mom died the 28th. i may just be greiving. i can't concentrate, but usually when i'm getting mentally ill, i'm paranoid by now. i did recognize that i didn't eat sat, and i made a salad and did the sheets sun. i ate 3 meals both sun and mon. usually when i'm getting sick i procrastinate everything. i did buy gas mon. sat i tried to buy cigs

Mary, grief is a funny thing, it pops up when least expected and I know a lot of people find anniversaries particularly troubling. Grief and depression are very similar in making it hard to concentrate. I sometimes have "woolly" days, too, and not much gets done.

Often when we feel a bit "off", we see how well others are doing and make comparisons, forgetting that they, too have periods when nothing seems to be under control. Or we see how many problems they have and feel overwhelmed to respond.

You seem to have been doing really well on the whole, so I pray that you will soon feel that you are back on track. We'll all be thinking of you if you do take a break from posting.

Mary, I am thinking of you and I do understand. So sorry. ann39

thanks everyone!

Hey Ann. How are you doing?

Bushlady:
Saw you finished up the pans from the maple syrup gathering. WHOOOO HOOOOOOO.

Not too well right now Diane. thanks for asking. ann 39

Mary - Like Bushlady says they can be very similar in symptoms grief and depression just take one day at a time.

Forgot to say I managed to get some monthly goals done in the garden. Some weeding and cutting the grass makes the garden look a lot tidier

Ann
Sorry to hear that you are not up to par. Please know we are here for you.

Karen:
I just look at the work I need to do in the garden, hoping a magical fairy will come to do it all! LOL Good for you in getting weeding and grass cutting done.
