What are you supposed to do when your world -- everything you have thought was real -- comes crashing down? Seriously, what do you do??? [sigh]

Sigh.

I can't recreate it, but the gist of it is that using anger in a positive way has always worked for me. Tell yourself that you did what you could and that the situation can't change, so what are you going to do about it? That's the harsh but truthful voice in my head when something happens and after I've had a few days of shoulder-shaking sobs.

That and good alcohol, good friends and a warm, chubby dog do wonders. (Not necessarily in that order.)

I'm thinking of you. If you want to talk, drop me a line. Keep your head up.; 6:38 PM

"This, too, shall pass." God, I hope so... & with his help, it will...

Chin is up. For now... ;); 1:50 PM
