Missy - I love your picture. Stay as positive as you are now. Thank you for letting us share this journey with you. It's such an inspiration. God Bless!

Well it definately fall here. It's cold and rainy and just plain icky. I get stiff and depressed this time of year (Seasonal Affective Disorder). After reading everyones post and hearing how positive everyone is with their troubles I have decided to approach this year different. Instead of letting it get to me I'm going to try and stay active and involved with things around me. "One Day at a Time"

Well I'm off to make up this weeks menu. Need to get it done now because DH & I have a quilt class this morning.

Hang in there everyone - have a great day!

God Bless!

There is a security camera in the elevator so it was all recorded. They have not found the man yet. She is frightened of what the other Koreans in the building will think of her once the man is apprehended and put in prison. She is afraid to go back to her apartment. She also feels bad that she will be the reason that this man goes to prison. I feel so helpless because she is on the other side of the world and I can't just go to her and comfort her. Thankfully, she comes home in 2 weeks. Kelsey is 25. Thank you for your prayers.

Down a pound today, but I had a hot dog attack tonight, so we'll see if it holds.

That is just wild for me to see. I guess it is true what they say that a picture is worth a thousand words.
