Crazy busy day today but wanted to take a minute to say MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all!!! You guys are in my thoughts and prayers probably more than you know. I've been so busy lately with school/holidays/company in town that I haven't been on much but I always make time for a special prayer for those still going through crisis and recovery as well as prayers of thanks for my long-time friends who helped me through mine. May God bless each of you in your victories as well as your struggles.

This Christmas I feel TRULY blessed with such a loving family and good friends.

Hello all my MB buddies!

I just wanted to post a quick note to let you all know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I try to check in but do not have a lot of time these days to post. My school schedule is really difficult this semester! Thank goodness I have my wonderful hubby who is such a great support to me. smile In addition, I am chairing the annual fundraiser for my son's ROTC program which occurs in February. It's a lot of work. Thankfully, H is helping me with that as well. It's actually quite exciting because this is the first big thing that we have been involved in together like this. We're actually quite a team!

Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that things are well, just busy - and that if you need me, all you have to do is post a message to me or whatever...and I'll help where I'm called! smile

I'm taking "Psychology of Adjustment" this semester along with 2 hard core science classes. Interesting stuff! My MB training is really helping with the psych class. It's a very fast-paced course because it is 8 weeks instead of 16. Lots to do in a short time!

Thanks, UW and CP!!!
smile

CP, have you signed up for classes yet???

UW, I've had some thoughts on your situation but have not posted yet. I keep putting it off because it probably won't be brief...and may be a little too "psychoanalyzed" so I've been contemplating if I should put it out there. LOL (Don't want to play amateur psychologist when I'm not fully trained yet. lol)

I imagine I will post them - in some form - soon. LOL

Waiting for SSA to send me documents so I can go thru DORS,(Dept of Rehabilitation Services)

Then the ball can get rolling. DORS can cut a lot of red tape.

I was signed up years ago before I met late wife in 1982 for 4 years of colledge to get BA for sociology and I dropped the ball and went back to work...

There is still..still..no time like the present huh?

Just still waiting now for the means to go back to school, plus they will help me get hearing aids,(High freqeuncy hearing loss), and will give me monthly bus pass so I can ride free anywhere,(Cuz i am disabled), plus, plus, lol. Can get help with Doctors because of messed up bones from way back,( Part of why I am disabled?)

Not gonna let it stop me or bring me down..Thanks for remembering BTW weightlifter

Again, glad to see you here and wishing the best for you and your family Sunny. hurray

Well, hit the hurdles one at a time and before you know it, you'll be sitting in class, wondering what the heck you got yourself into, like me! LOL
