But I sure do appreciate it! Your support and encouragement means the world to me!<br /><br />Robin- That’s a good idea. I think one thing I do is ward it off as soon as I feel it coming on. It’s just that, sometimes, it slips right on by.

The last two years have been very difficult for me. My mom passing, putting down my horse and then losing my job. But by having a sense of purpose pushed me forward and good things are attracted to you when you give off good vibes.

We all have one. So when it comes we need to have a plan in place for how we are going to redirect ourselves. How are we going to shut that darn thing off and redirect our mental energy? We may to have plan A, B, and C. And I think different plans work for different people.

Which is so stupid. Luckily, he doesn't come around too often and no one else ever hears him. :) Hope you get a new team quick!
