I feel a lot better today and think back and am embarrassed about worrying about such stupid things. Or more about worrying that I was going to worry. Greg > I've had those same feelings quite a few times, Greg. It feels like > you are about to explode. I also sometimes chill/shiver when I am > ho

Same thing goes for me, so I have made a great effort to start changing my blue routines and get out of the house more. I took a master gardening course this spring and have now increased the number of hours I am volunteering. Now that school has started I signed up to go to the local elementary
