I lost my job a month ago after 10 years it sucks BUT I have it so much better than alot of people on this earth!!! I have food a roof over my head and MANY great friends, sorry but I am rich in soooooooo many ways!!



Yep, sooooooooo many are struggling to even eat today!

We just all have to count our blessings! No one knows who's number is next.

Esp. as the economy seems set to wanna just collapse on itself?

I think many of us feel much closer to the curb than one cheque away ...

All around me, seems like a house of collapsing cards, GLOBALLY!

I'm glad I'm so resourceful, yes, but still worry when the economy is sooooo down turned!

I think it is worse than the Depression.

And so messed up that we are pouring all our money into war!

Vitamin D, and it works in concert w/ a healthy ratio of magnesium and calcium.

I'd recommend a good multi~mineral w/ a 2000 D, women need MORE!

Also, a good B~complex for the nervous system, lifting your spirit!

You might be suffering from Seasonal Affectiveness Dis-Order...(SAD's) A lot of people experience that in the Winter months.....

Vitamin D3, but don't forget about omega fatty acids. Take it in supplement form or use full spectrum lightbulbs.... Depending on where you live the sun might not even help you....

Yep, Mikey, I still feel so up and blessed too!

... AND? My intuit is telling me we must all pitch in like NEVER before to help those going down w/ the cursed feelings and seemingly cursed reality.

Mentally/Meditatively/Prayerfully and physically rollin' up sleeves ...

Dunno, which came first, I suspect the mindset ...

... But it feels like the Titanic going down all around me!

Doesn't feel enough to just sit in my lil row boat safe!

Also, such a monolithic capsize ... who knows how high the ensuing Tsunamic waves may be.

We are ALL connected ... All doing as well as the least is doing ... flowerforyou

I feel great!!!

I can't even remember the last time I felt anything close to "out of sorts"

oh wait there was that taco in Mexico...HAHA. Jk:heart:

No really forget the supplements- the therapy- the sun!!

Grab life everyday you awake and go with it-- run into the wind

feel the world. Feel the people. Laugh. Kiss a baby. Dance with the dog jump in a puddle. Build a snowman. Swim naked. Tell a stranger they are beautiful have a beer at the neighborhood pub

Just live!!!!

(as she rips her clothes off and runs aimlessly around the neighborhood!)

haha. I send hugs and kisses. Now kiss me!!!!:heart:

I've starved. I find it's actually a good experience! laugh You get real spiritual when yr deprived of food. I've had utilities cut off. You appreciate em' more when you have em'. I used to get up in the morning...first thin I'd do was turn on the stove to make sure I had gas...and then I'd turn on the sink to make sure I still had water. Did this compulsively...every day....:tongue:

You pick up strange habits when yr poor though. I tend to hoard things. I'm real protective of what I own. My biggest fear is losing stuff. Having people STEAL things from me...cuz' I can't afford to replace em'. :tongue:

I was very poor also

right after the divorce. With 4 kids!!

We had periods of no heat. No water. No lights. No food

it was tough and I cried many a night

now it's a 100% turnaround because of my hard work

that's why I volunteer at the food pantry and help others whenever I can!!::heart:

Is everyone in a funk lately or what? Seems like something in the air.
Everyone I deal with lately, things seem down and out of sorts.
Springtime is just around the corner. Where is the energy?

in all the doritos bags, and Macdonalds, and burger king trash cans...along with America's health...

This thread feels like the planetary population, imho ...

Some replies are completely self~involved, w/out regard for others.

Some are all about the interconnection of what is going on that has so many caught up in feeling down.

No wonder ...

Slice of life, macrocosm is in the microcosm ...

I pray happiness, wholeness, health and prosperity for each and ALL ... flowerforyou
