I'm not making light of it all Kat, you know I love ya, but sometimes we get into these slumps and we have to do what I call 'practice' or 'fake' our way out of it. When we get in these slumps, their easy. But to get up, put on a smile, walk out the door takes work...so we have to 'practice' doing it everyday until it becomes habit again. Sometimes we just have to fake being happy until it no longer becomes fake, because we have learned to surround ourselves with people we like being with and it starts feeling natural again.

I'm right there with you right now Kat...the last week or so haven't been the greatest. So I go out in public and try to practice being happy again. I really do hate for you to feel this way, because I know how bad it hurts.

Love ya girlfriend!!

I guess I should proof read...duh!

I think with all the love you have to give, I'd go hold the babies at the hospital. How cool would that be????

You got me again Janet, I busted out laughing when I reread your first post.
I like that idea about holding babies, Loyola Hospital is 10 minutes from here, I'm gonna see if I can be of any use to them. Thanks.

I hope they can use you Kat...there is nothing that can make the heart smile bigger than holding a child, such a feeling of hope with a baby in your arms. I can't remember exactly how it goes but it went something like this.....Nothing exercises the heart more than picking up a child. If someone knows the correct wording, I would appreciate knowing.

Holidays are the hardest. The first Fathers Day after my Dad died was terrible for me. My hubby asked me to go visit his parents that day and I told him I wasn't ready. His Mom called to invite me and said, "Well, Paul can be your Dad now!" I hung up on her and then called back to blast her with my feelings.

When I get really down, I remember my Dad's laugh, the way he loved to tell jokes and have fun. I still celebrate Fathers Day for him, he's just not here physically. I see my Dad's spirit in my son and embrace that!

Hold the memories of your Mother close and be happy that you had her! Do the best you can and let's all help each other get through the ups and downs.
