Hi all...
I wanted to share something that helps me out when I'm having a bad time... I know it might sound silly, but I think about this and sometimes it's all I need to keep trying...
-------------------------------
Little AcornsWhen problems overwhelm us and sadness smothers us where do we find the will and the courage to continue? Well the answer may come in the caring voice of a friend,a chance encounter with a book, or from a personal faith.
For Janet help came from her faith, but it also from a squirrel. Shortly after her divorce, Janet lost her father, then she lost her job.
She had mounting money problems. But Janet not only survived she worked her way out of despondency and now she says, life is good again. How could this happen?She told me that late one fall day when she was at her lowest she watched a squirrel storing up nuts for the winter, one at a time he would take them to the nest. And she thought, if that squirrel
can take care of himself with the harsh winter coming along, then so can I.Once I ripped my problems into small pieces I was able to carry them, just like those acorns, one at a time.

Your timing is impeccable! I've felt so overwhelmed lately that I often forget to take things one day (or thing) at a time.

Last night when I read this post there was an ad at the bottom like the ones on admin.
For the squirrelboard
But now it's not here anymore
But it was then
Really. (I went there but it was sad. It started with a memorial to one of the fallen)
But why are the ads not there anymore? And why was I chosen to get it? Is Bob trying to refer me on?
Your friend
