Abbie let's you and I move out of the midwest to Arizona.

Even a pretty day can't lift me out of the dumps....I got my feelings hurt a while back and have been hurting ever since. I just can't seem to shake this yet. I am way too sensitive and wish I weren't because it would make my life a lot easier!

Seems anytime someone says something to me that isn't nice I just keep replaying it over and over. I should have said something because maybe they didn't mean to be so harsh...yeah right.

The good news is since I have had so much trouble sleeping I finished all the magazines I'd put off reading so I am taking them to the Nursing Home today!

I'm guilty of the same thing...replaying things over and over. Why do we do this to ourselves?!! It really gives things an importance they don't deserve...life is short.....but how to stop???

Do you get O magazine...they take forever to read. *grin

"...Seems anytime someone says something to me that isn't nice I just keep replaying it over and over. I should have said something because maybe they didn't mean to be so harsh...yeah right..."

For those of you who suffer from such thought patterns, I highly recommend David Burns' book, Feeling Good. You learn about disruptive thought patterns and use cognitive behavioural therapy to put an end to it. CBT has been shown to be more effective than antidepressants. A group of us got together and worked through a chapter at time. Can't say enough good things about it.

Thanks for the recomendation Akimbo...what's your fav. kind of muffin?

Ooops... got side tracked.... couldn't resist a quick ride...

I'm off to find us a nice comfy ride....

Soooo...how many of us are there now... wanna make sure the ride is big enough...

Well if BJ insists on bringing all those doggies...we've got a problem.

And if we can't find a driver I have one.............




That is if you want us to come along. I didn't see my state listed in the itinerary

I can have the car packed and ready soon....

Sure is cold and gray here today.... brrrr...

My husband Lynn and Dad always suffered with what we in the hicks called cabin fever. Now, I find out it could have been SAD. Lynn also has Alzheimer's, daylight savings time is brutal on him! I did buy those special lights awhile back. They are truly helping him with both his sundowning and the time change.

Az, I too have a constant rewind in my brain. I need to learn how to hit pause, or better yet erase!

And hey, you got room for one more in that car ?
