Today I have to say I am Thankful for the amazingly smart scientists/chemists and doctors and nurses that work so hard to make and prescribe medicine.  I know it sounds strange, but if I didn't have the medicine available to me that I take on a daily basis, I don't know what kind of person I would be or where I would be.  Untreated Bipolar can lead to a very dysfunctional and destructive lifestyle and untreated ADD can cause many problems at work due to lack of focus and attention to detail and menopause at 34, no thank you!  Because of my medicine and my determination I have a great job that I am able to keep, I have 4 children that I can raise and I have a life I am proud to live.  I am also thankful for the health insurance I have through my work because the medicines I take are expensive with insurance, I can't imagine them without it!  So THANK YOU to those of you in the medical field that work so hard everyday to help people like me to live a normal life!

Inner Strength - your survival instinct...  I am so Thankful that I have inner strength, the drive and determination that comes out at that last possible second when you think you have nothing left in you. I am a pretty stubborn person and I won't "allow" things to come crashing down and take away my spirit, I just keep trucking on and on and on like the energizer bunny. Something gets in my way and I either plow right through it like a linebacker or I stuff it down inside and try to deal with it later.  I have to say with my current situation I have taken the bull by the horns and just done what needs to be done as far as getting a place of my own and taking on the bills etc, but the emotional side of it I have stuffed deep down inside of me and it keeps trying to rear it's ugly head the past couple of days.  I am sad about the separation and about how things have turned out, it breaks my heart.  But you go on, I have learned to let go of things.  I am in cont...
