    Morals and Beliefs?

    Started almost 2 years ago · Last post almost 2 years ago ·
    I was raised to never have sex before marriage, and belive me it was ingrained into me before I was 10 years old.I did not have sex, smoke or drink or anay thing else.I got married at 16.STupid and that choice ruined a large part of my life.Some times I wonder what it would have been like if I had had sex beforer marriage.I know the man I married would not have married me.So my life would have to have been much better.I started smoking at 21 and never really drank till I was 40, then only did it off n on for a few years and didnt like it.I left my husband after 24 years and lived alone till I moved in with my youngest daughter 3 years ago.She is also seperated from her husband.I like it , mostly its peaceful.No one bothers me..smile.No beatings , no yelling, no cussing which i hate.Just her the kids ,dogs and me.I feel more at peace than i have for years, Idid not like living alone, but I do miss it some times..

    Needle felting help?

    Started about 3 years ago · Last post almost 2 years ago ·
    I really enjoy needle felting.I watched alot of videos on you tube and found lots of sites with great ideas.My favorite that I have made are my cashmere booties, I washed the wool and carded it and dyed it with kool aid and made them .I tried wet felting first, but I dont seem to be good at that , so I went to dry felting and got them done.

    Been off my rocker

    Started almost 2 years ago · Last post almost 2 years ago ·
    I quit taking my antidepressant.I hate them, but I have not been doing good this last 2 mos, not only with the pneumonia, but I have been so depressed and unhappy, and angry.I know I should not stop taking them.At first I feel good then slowly It gets really bad till even I cant stand to be around me, and I cay all the time.Rant all the time.So I started back on them.Hope fully I will stay one them.Its hard to take some that makes u feel weird to make you stop feeling crazy.sigh.I have not done much crafts or any thing.I hope I will get back to doing some when I get over this lung thing.I got to the pulmonary spec tomorrow.Hope the results are good and can be taken care of.I have been worried, because It hasnt gone away for the last 2 mos.I have to stay in bed alot, hard to breath.But that is even better than it was..
    Thank you for reading.I felt that I was going crazy without the antidepressants.
    I feel alone and very sad.

    I cant move on

    Started almost 2 years ago · Last post almost 2 years ago ·
    I felt the same way when my mom died.My Dad sold the house they lived in and some one else moved in , let all the plants and trees I planted for her die, bit by bit, they let all that it was to her rot.It was way out on the desert and you have to haul your own water.Im sure those people could not haul water like my dad did, he had a large water hauler truck.But to see it like that just tore me apart.I hope it gets better for you.Im so sorry .

    Forgive and forget??

    Started almost 2 years ago · Last post almost 2 years ago ·
    I have found that not forgiving only hurts me, not the other person.Forgiveness is lifting off a load from me.I dont have to carry the grudges and hate or any thing.I can be free if I forgive.
