I feel a little disappointed in myself for not being able to pull myself together.
I think some of you know that my wife of 29 years left in Aug 2010.
I finally had to do the right thing and let her go so I handled the divorce myself.
The day the divorce became final I felt as a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders.
I knew I had done the right thing but the problem is since then I have been just lethargic.
I've basically hold up in my house and haven't been doing much of anything.
I'm still visiting my ex-father-in-law every day(he's91) and needs someone to assist him from time to time. I take him to his dr's appointments and to the store when he wants to go.
That seems to take every amount of energy and motivation I have.
I know there are more things I need to get done like my "Robin Hood" hats that folks won in the auction. I just am having so much trouble making myself do the things I need to. I managed to get them cut out either yesterday or the day before but the sewing hasn't gotten done.
I know I'm not eating healthy but that might not be as much of a change as the other stuff.
I've had depression before and take meds for it but never like this.
Blue is my favorite color except when it reflects my spirit.
I hope just getting it out by writing will help.
God's grace,peace,and love, Mudd
PS:I think this is my 1st post in a while and my norm was usually at least one or more posts per day.

Keep strong. look through the down time towards a new begining. The fact that you are putting what little energy you have to helping others is a good thing. Stay strong.

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. 1 CORINTHIANS 10 v13
Keep doing your hats maybe that will be a good outlet for you even if its a few a day

Mr. Mudd, I hear your pain and I have felt your pain,and it is no fun. You will get where you need to be through all of this. Like previously said,a day at a time. Keep busy,and stay positve,time heals the hurt.
A good buddy of mine once told me...."Craig,if I get up in the morning and can put my pants on myself,it is going to be a good day!" I take that seriously as life goes on.
I am praying for you Mudd. Take care, Craig
