Sat, 29 Sep 2007 19:12:22 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/73441/journal/471517 I had a very busy week but it was much better.  My husband got back Sunday night and was upset we did fall all over him.  I felt badly but was fighting another migraine.  The next morning he called me on the way to work just to tell me he loved me.  We talked for the ride and it ...

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 15:10:01 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/73441/journal/368546 I told a friend this week, finally.  She helped me see how strong I have been but that I can lean on her if I need it.  I have always been the friend so asking for help is not something I do well or often.  As a matter of fact I am pretty private so this arena is new to me.  (As ...
