A Journey Worth Taking...

[gigglerz]

The reason why I am journaling again, the TRUE reason is because it was suggested to me as a means to help my stress, thus helping my insomnia as well. For some reason (not sure if it is narcissism or not) I always want to write as if someone else was going to read it, thus reading me. I will know how much I have grown as a person if I am just able

Great to see you back here, Colly :)

I didn't realize it had been that long. I'm so sorry about your voice and sleep problems, you'll just have to write more.

Oh and exercise seems to help most folks with stress and sleep, it certainly has been helping me.

Ha! And I eat sometimes at night - even after I'm completely stuffed.

it HAD BEEN THAT long. can you believe it? I have been on facebook for a while. My daughter set me up there. I am on there a lot. But, there is not a place to truly "journal". It is a place just to pretty much "update" and put pic's in. It is fun....however, I am determined to do the true journaling here.

A gym is great....not so great when neither you or your spouse are not working. lol

I have not really posted much on LJ in awhile either just random stuff here and there. I now post private daily posts just to get stuff off my chest and it really feels good.

Glad to have you back.

I think the more and more that I go, I will determine if I am going to have a totally private journal. I think that will be the thing for me. I do like the feedback of others, though....i'm not going to lie. lol
I like hearing others take on things, ya know?

I think it will depend on what you want to vent and write about. Mine are very personal and don't really want others to read.

However, I like reading your journal, so hopefully it won't go totally private.

Welcome back. Things have been . . . strange. Like Hunter S. Thompson said, "When the going gets tough, the tough get . . . weird."

[gigglerz]

HEY!!!!! are you calling me, weird? lol

~ and I take great comfort in knowing that you and all your gorgeous'ness is out there somewhere.

May you find the place that "solice" lives... and find a comfy chair there.

Personally... I recommend a gym... The kind of place with lots of cardio machines. You get "alone time", it magically makes you feel good about yourself and... no matter how much you think it will suck... it honestly gets to be something you love (as long as you don't over do it) :)

Thanks for your kind words *blushes*

I would do the gym, if either one of us had jobs over here. lol

It is so good to see you on here again. I stopped journaling too, so I completely understand stepping away, but I check in and see how everyone is from time to time.

I am sorry to hear about your voice problems. Are you still running fevers? This getting older bit isn't all it's cracked up to be, is it.

I'm glad your kids are doing well, even Izzy.

And I never realized it until you mentioned it but I do the same thing when I'm working (I do medical transcription from home) and my life is out of control by leaving the TV on in the background to block out my thoughts. See, one post and you've already made a difference.

If your interested, I'm on facebook too. Let me know if you want to friend me.

[gigglerz]

OMG! I can't believe you remember that. I do, moreso when I am in pain.

So....how in the heck are things with you and the kids? They must be so old now.

[gigglerz]

p.s. of COURSE I would like to friend you on FB. My name is Colette Hill-Poferl

I just sent you a request. You look so cute in your picture!!
