Sometimes I still think I’m crazy, too, so don’t think you’re the only one! Glad you found this website — you are more than welcome here.

As far as the jigsaw puzzle, I think that’s a fantastic idea, and I think I’m going to try it myself! You’re right, sometimes we can’t put our lives together as we would like them to be, but we sure can put a puzzle together, can’t we?

Great idea! Thanks.

And thank you for the compliment about God’s love. That’s what I hope people feel when they read my blog.

Please do remember that God loves you and so do I, ok MaryAnne? Sometimes it’s what keeps us going when times are tough.

Stress reliever? I know it sounds more stressful than most people want, but I love jigsaw puzzles. Not those impossibe, kill-you-off kinds; instead, cute 500 piece ones with obvious designs to them. I get totally lost in them and for at least the time it takes to put them together, I feel contentment. If I can’t put my life together as I want, at least I feel accomplished with a beautiful picture when the puzzle is finished.

Thanks… and I do feel God’s love when reading your blog…

I am sorry to her in your last post that you may have diabetes. Most of the anti-psychotic drugs can and usually will raise your sugar level. Abilify, seroquel, and depokote can cause diabetes. I am sure there are others but I have only heard of these three for a fact. I am praying that your test come back negative. Trying to manage diabetes and bipolar together is not an easy task. It is a challenge I deal with every day. Your in my prayers.

Or hot showers that last until the hot water is turning cold. Just sitting there on the floor of the shower, nice and warm, where nobody can bother me and I don’t have to do anything is so nice! (I know I should conserve water, but sometimes a girl’s gotta do what she’s gotta do!)

And I stop and hug my husband. His arms are long and totally wrap me up, no small feat since I am a definite plus sized, and for that one moment I am calm. He supports me no matter what craziness I have myself in that got me stressed in the first place, and he laughs and reminds me that it’s not really that important after all.

Thank you so much for your comment. It’s good to get positive feedback. Especially on my signature, because I always want people to know that they are not alone.

I’m glad I could help you.

And so you know, I always absolutely love to see your signature:
