Thank you (((((((((((((((((((( darlene )))))))))))))))))))))

I appreciate so much your prayers and kind words.

I *have* stretched myself too far for a couple of reasons I think...to continue to be what I can for those that I care for, but also stubbornly not "giving in". I've never had a clear view in the differences in giving up and giving in for a bit. Ah, well, it's one thing that's helped me in this life too...hehe.

What I don't realize in the times that I stretch myself too far is that I might not in actuality be helping in the ways that I think I am, and that an absent me (for a while) might be better than a halfway me...the "do something right or don't do it at all" thing, "jack of all trades, master of none" comes to mind as well.

I'm going to take a few days to rest and try to refuel for this next hard time, then get through it. I may take a few days after to refuel as well. It's been a HARD past year! I never dreamed it would go on, and on, and on with the doctors not being able to control her grave's.

I thank you for your prayers and understanding and will see you in the New Year, hopefully both of us doing well and looking forward for a truly *New* Year.

Thank you.
