Life is Beautifully Busy!

Hi Everyone! I know it's been a week, I've been meaning to write for a while now, but at the percise moment, my home computer is down. So I'm writing this entry from my local library and plan on writing another entry asap from my apartment complex's Internet Center. Thank God for that! I'm finally taking advantage of it, it's a Godsend, but it's only open during business hours-so that kinda sucks. A few weeks ago I was talking to my mom about I wanted to be less depenednt on computers and was tired of spending too much time on there-again, the power of the word, be careful what you wish for right! At least I have plenty of books at home to keep me busy and thank God I like to read now hunh-it's a privilage and a liberty read-and tonight, I want to take a long hot bath, so really, I don't NEED the computer at home-I just miss it-hopefully it'll fixed soon! Anyway, I'm feeling better, finally let go of a little bit of the depression I was feeling about Hurricane Katrina, it's still devasting, but I'm learning to let it go and pray as best I can, that's all I can really do. Today I had heartburn and a stomach ache, whcih sucked, but considering that's the first time in over three weeks, instead of every single day, it's not that bad. I can handle it. Anyway, I went to a Vocational Rehab Orientation today and got a little upset about that, as I don't really consider myself a "disabled person," like the rest of the world does. Like disabled people have a certain stereo type like everything else and I just don't consider myself one of them, I mean, I don't want to sound snobby or mean, there's nothing wrong with being disabled and I do have some physical limitations, but I just never looked at myself that way, and thank God, my family never did either. I was always treated special b/c I was ME, not b/c I was disabled. Anyway, it's going to take a lot of time, effort, work and prayers and I'm going to definately have to swallow my pride along the way, but it'st he ONLY way to get back into the work world and be a self-sufficient member of society-which I so want and deserve,as we all do. My next appointment at VR is Oct. 19th so between now then I must decide between Real Estate and Nutrition, but I know I will just pray about it and God will answer it, as He always does answer prayers. I've got over a month to figure it out, so I'm not too worried about it right now. Right now, actually, I need to go, my time is up on this comptuer station and someone is waiting-I don't want to be rude. I just wanted to write and say I wasn't dead and gone, I'm very much alive and well and enjoying my busy life at the moment! Anyway, I'll try my best to write again tomorrow from hte IC at my apartment complex. Oh, one last thing, the Billy Dean Concert last Sunday, Sept. 4th was WONDERFUL! I was 12 all over again, no meeting or talking to him personally, but he looked great, sounded wonderful and is still incredibly SEXY! He's very happily married now and I'm so happy for him-it's just such a great thing to see! My mom enjoyed it too! More about that tomrorow-anyway, gotta run! Hope y'all are well and I'll write again asap, please forgive my spelling errors in this entry! TTYS!

In my prayers!

Many Blessings,
