thanks for this ... I, too, am a social butterfly before the illness .. .and try to keep an upbeat attitude .. but, there are days that I just get overwhelmed ... and can't keep up ... and yes, I read and pray alot without posting ...

this has been my 'out' because I get pooped when I get ready to go somewhere - I can't wait to get home to rest already!! so - coming here to just veg and read ... and post, too - has really really helped me with my illness.
