It took a day or so to pull myself out of it. I guess that's the natuer of 'self-work'[...we have to go through the shadow to find the light at the end of the Tunnel...

For now, I'm regourping on the business front. Re-connecting with the Community College to run my classes I used to teach years ago. It will also get me some socialization and probably clients.

Got a couple hits on the Bed for sale, I am holding it in my positive thoughts that it will pop through this weekend. (that's gonna fix the car)

Cancelled the Retreat until I have more of a ['fololowing'[ and can also do some ACTUAL advertizing.

Got back in touch with the Home Euity people I used a few years ago, and I qualify for a new loan! So I'm only taking a little bit of that but it's enough to pay my bills for a year and give me breathing room. I even sat down and did the math like a "responsible adult" and will be handling the important stuff, instead of playing and blowing it...

It also helped that a friend took me to the grocery store Thursday and I am stocked up for a while so I don't feel destitute... Even if I have to eat griled cheese and spaghettios for a while, It's fine. "I am always taken care of."... That's what I am affirming.

I am not going to wallow, I am going to RISE, dammitt! I've rebuilt my life from less, and I can figure it out when my emotions have run their course...

Thaks again, DU Family... you guys always are here for my moments of dolubt and need
