Hey Everybody!!

[Janet]

I haven't been posting much for awhile and thought I'd explain a little why.

It's just been so hectic with hubby and my Mom. Plus, I've been such a bi**h and so down, I didn't want to bring everyone down with me. I was tired of my negative posts so didn't post much at all.

Things are a little better now and I don't feel so overwhelmed and depressed. Not saying it will stay that way...lol...but I'm trying.

Janet, it's so glad to see you posting again! I've missed you! I don't have time to read your other threads just yet since I'm on my way out, but I'll get to them as soon as I can. I just wanted you to know that you were missed!

[Janet]

Thanks Angie, I appreciate it. I'm going to try and post more and just be present more, but alot depends on how I am emotionally. Trying to keep a stiff upper lip if ya know what I mean.

Janet you need to post no matter how you feel. Maybe we can help you get through the rough days.

[Janet]

Thank you so much Debbie, I will really try. I just don't want to be the 'one' who's posts are always a downer. I do have good things going in my life, so maybe I won't be so negative.

You are NOT a downer. And no one thinks that either. *hugs*

Janet, we'll try to be here to encourage you. I haven't been on much either. Just too much going on. First vacation, now a lot of catching up and other things. Our dogs have been sick since we got back. They have some kind of nasty virus and we've had around $750 in vet bills so far. I'm so tired of cleaning up after them. What a mess.

Sorry, not meaning to hyjack your thread.

Not too many on here lately. It will probably catch up again once people are all back after the summer.

Keep on posting!!

[Mandy]

Janet, i missed you!! Been wondering where you were, but knew you must have been busy with summer, puppies, and your hubby. Girl, you are not a downer, this place is for us all to come, and tell what we want, good, and bad things. Just say what you feel, it's an escape from it all, and we are all here to support each other!

Marilyn, i'm sorry to hear your doggies are sick, hope they get better soon!!!

I don't think that you're a downer, Janet. I think that you just share more what's going on in your life then the rest of us. I have NEVER considered your posts as unpleasant! You're our friend!!!!

[Tink]

Janet, you're not a downer. You're a sweet loving lady who's going through some tough stuff and should be able to lean on her friends and have a place to vent as needed.

I kinda know how you feel 'cause I try not to post a lot of negative stuff, but that's my own hang-up... not a result of anything anyone here has said or done. I think we're both lucky to have such good friends here that we CAN vent when/if we need to. So vent away... it's a whole lot healthier than holding it in till we blow up! LOL

I'm so blessed to have so many wonderful friends here at 4WT who will let me be myself....the good and the bad. I am very open, probably too open. It just seems at times that once I get on a roll about the unpleasant things in my life, I forget about the many, many blessings I have. The ladies here are a great example. I'm just trying to focus on them, not to say that a VENT post may not show up...LOL

If you do need to vent, we'll be here to remind you of the good things in your life as well as encourage you through the bad. That's what this place is all about as far as I can tell.

Hope everything is going well for you Janet!
