Thanks to this DU family that give us so much support!

I had a rough tme sleeping last night, hot/cold and mind racing...But when I woke up today I was determined to see it as a "reset" and just go back to doing my home and office stuff, let the rest take care of itself for a day at least. So maybe giveyourself today to fall apart if need be...and tomorrow hold the promise of shifting it.

HUUUUGGGGSSS!!!!
