Poochie - I'm so sorry about your experience. I know how embarrassing that must have been for you.

It's hard to understand our purpose when we are alone and homebound. I think it's normal to feel that way. We all have a purpose in life. And our purpose, in a sense, changes. I am not able to do all that I used to be able to do. My girls are on their own and I am by myself most of the time. I don't particularly like it but it's just the way it is. My role as a hands on mom has shifted to a on-call support position. I do a little bit of typing work from home. I don't drive very far. My walking ability has decreased dramatically over the past several months. Because of all these changes, my purpose seems to have changed as well. I find I spend a lot of time praying for others. Doydie also gave some great ideas for things that we all can do from home.

Hang in there!!
