Willow visited me last night

[Traci]

Oh no, I didn't mean to imply you were imparting the similarities between Willow and Lucy, only that I know that they are similar in so many ways - and wanted to mention that it is very easy for us to do that, especially in times of grief.

I suspected you have many other things going on in your life right now, and may be leaving you feeling as if you have no control, whether it be emotions, or control of situations in your life. I totally understand that. That is an extremely difficult feeling, not having control, and it can really wreak havoc with your thoughts and emotions, as well as taking over your life.

There have been times in my life too, major losses, and many of them way too close together. Very taxing times in my life, and some things I still haven't gotten over or worked through (likewise, some things are best put behind you and never to be revisited again). Sometimes I feel absolutely cheated by those losses and curse the powers that be. Eventually, you have no other choice than to pick up the pieces and try to fill in the empty holes with whatever allows you a little bit of happiness and still be able to keep your sanity.

Whatever is going on in your life, try to face it head on, hold fast and steady, and stay grounded. You're entitled to be hurt, angry, whatever, but don't let it consume you. Lean on Tim for support (unless he's part of the problem, lol), and your friends, including here. We don't have to know the details, just know that we are here for you!

I'm trying to face it head on...but I'm having a bad hair week too...I think that was the straw that broke the camel's back so to speak

(see...I still retain a sense of humor)

Whenever I have a bad hair day, I just cut it.

Seriously, problem solved.

Oh believe me, I've thought about SHAVING it...seriously...

Ahh... thyroid problems will do it. Hormones out of whack? CRY ALL THE TIME. That's how it works for me, anyway. Hope things stabilize for you soon, hon.
