you lovely women! Foot is doing ok...just isn't feeling better fast enough. I am really itching to exercise again and I will be able to start Wednesday. Hope my body doesn't go too much into shock.


I do have to apologize again for not being here. Things just seem to be getting worse instead of better. At least DD is not as sick with the pregnancy as she was. One positive thing to think about for now.


I am sure you all saw this coming, but I have to step down as cl of the board. I have tried to keep doing it, but I am getting overwhelmed with what is going on here. I am finding it very hard to focus on other things. I am feeling badly for other DD because all of what is going on is overshadowing her upcoming wedding. Hopefully everything will be worked out well before her wedding.


I don't know how the rest of you do it....post and work full time with things going on in your lives. Usually I do ok, but this one really knocked the wind out of me. Being down from foot surgeries gave me too much time to think.


I AM still going to Asheville...it there still an Asheville? I saw on the news that there was a lot of flooding. I do have to call the hotel and make sure we still have a room. And...I don't mind flying with Susan who hasn't flown in 28 years. I am only slightly more experienced. It will be good to get away, meet up with you and get my mind off things and just unwind!!


I will not be a stranger...I am still going to post as much as possible. It will be one of the things I do for me and my mental health. Can't imagine not having you all in my life to talk with and see what is going on with you. It is my refuge coming here and reading how you are doing.


So...thank you for being here.


Hugs

Grace so sorry your footies are taking so long to mend. Especially hard on someone as active as yourself. You need to take care of you and get well. Stepping down is understandable, especially with all you have going on. Please know you will be missed as CL but it will not be tolerated you stepping "away" from us and the board. Post when you can and want, and please share when you have more time. You can tell us anything and you know you have plenty of support here. Hugs to you! Please give me this week to get through this wedding and I promise we can get together next week.

Love you!

Grace,

We'll always be here for you. I'm truly sorry for all that's going on in your life right now. I'm sure the added complication of your foot surgery hasn't helped. I'm glad that you're still going to Asheville and I look forward to being your traveling companion-I promise to behave!

My prayers and positive thoughts are with you and hope that everything resolves itself in a positive way. Anything I can do-you have my number and email. Take good care of yourself!

Hugs,

Susan

Sorry to hear you'll be stepping down as CL, Grace, but verrrry happy to hear you'll continue to be part of this great board. I do hope everything with your pg DD improves bit by bit, that your other DD has a wonderful wedding day, and that DiL continues to have a healthy pregnancy. You do have a ton going on; take care of you and your family - first things first...

Hugs,

Donna
