Sleep is like healing vabors to the soul.
I see you,
JJ
 

Glad to see you post and hear you are feeling well rested.
 

Better stay clear of JJ's vabors.

It's good to hear from you. I thought maybe the keypad in your chopper had broken or something. Land that damn thing, go get some java and chill out for the weekend.
 

Isn't that the truth? Gald your are feeling betted. Welcome back, we missed you.

I am so glad for you trudge, I have missed you, glad you are taking care of yourself

and even though we will ALWAYS find someone who has it worse than we do... our pain, is our pain and it it hard for us, and respect whatever you are going through trudge and keep on trudging you and your family are in my prayers

to anonymous, I am sorry also to hear you are going through alot painful things and will pray for and your family
 

WTF? I almost died trying to live up to "others" expectation of my own level of pain. I was who and what you thought I should be. Once I began to actually find the real me, and that I indeed had a right to be upset, angry, hurt over whatever the situation, I began to heal. You can put two people in my family together and you will see vastly different tolerances for physical or emotional pain.

Trudge-I am glad you are posting again and I am glad you are feeling better. Looks like you have a lot of friends here that care about you (myself included) and lots of new phone numbers. Use them :)
 

So glad to see you are back. I was glad to see the enormous support and that you were reaching out. I did not catch your post in time and live in CA. However email and phone are always there.

Hang in there!
 

Now that you have had some much deserved sleep , you will feel way better prepared to deal with life.
Sweet Dreams and if you are craving anything like candy, come visit my blog, I am offering totally calorie free pictures of treats...LOL
Take care and Thanks for sharing
 

Trudge,
Sleep has become so important to me since I've discovered I can actually achieve seven to eight hours a night. I cherish it! I thought I would never again in my life-time get a good nights sleep. The key seems simple, but until everything falls into place night after night you just will never trust that you can get a good night's sleep without drugs:

1. Don't drink alcohol,
2. Don't drink coffee four hours before bedtime,
3. Don't go to bed hungry,
4. Go to bed at the same time each night, and most importantly,
5. Put out of your mind the things you cannot change today.

The last one is most important and least simple to attain. Try The Serenity Prayer or Third Step Prayer. Once this last item was in place, it was like a magic present to myself; I slept like a baby. Whenever I cannot put things out of my mind, I’ll only sleep for a few hours and wake early morning.

Alcohol was my favorite sleep inducer, but it never really worked since I’d wake at 3:00am all the time.

Sorry I was away for so long. I've been busy looking for work. I think I got something...
