The Long Climb Back Up

Just checking in to say hi, and to let you know things are moving in a better direction for me. Your support of my  journal sabbatical to deal with things in my life has meant a lot to me....you'll never know how much. I'm still very tired from dealing with them, and not always staying on track food wise, but I'm making an effort at least! I'm working towards trying to find time for my own needs, which is hard for me to do.....but it is in the works. On a positive note, Mandy will be home on June 20 for an entire week.....it's just the medicine the Doctor ordered for me, and I can't wait.

Here is a song that you may or may not know. It's another by Kim Richey again, as she is one of my music champions! It is called "Something To Say" and I sing this one a lot, because for me, it represents my battle with weight & depression....it's kind of like she was inside my head when she wrote it! LOL! I hope you like it....remember if the video won't play, just try refreshing the journal page.

My apoligies to Indigo, and others, for the missing lyrics....I could not find them on line anywhere! When things settle down though, I will come back and make sure I type them out .

My hopes & prayers remain with you all.....

  Linda know having Mandy home will be a real pick me up for you dear.  Got the song and the lyrics just fine, very thought thinking words. Every one of us has tough days, family situations, jobs stuff, we just have to allow ourselves to get thru these days and keep a positive attitude that you'll get thru it ok...beats the depression that's a real downer on all of us mentally and healthwise.  Know we're all here for you any time you need us Linda....that's what friends are for.

  I'm so glad to hear Mandy is coming for a visit hon. I continue to keep you and your family in my prayers on the smoke. Of course I miss you dearly, but understand the circumstances of your absence. Your in my thoughts always. Don't worry about the lyrics, knowing something gives you strength and courage in listening to the words means more than enough to me. (Hugs) Indigo
