As Bettie West was saying to Wendy Apgar:
 
 BW> Sorry to hear your having so many problem right 
 BW> now...anytime you feel like venting it's always good to 
 BW> talk to friends. and I'm sure your crafting helps out with 
 BW> this also. Sounds like you into a little bit of 
 BW> everything..suncatchers..quilts, and what all. that's 
 BW> good..helps when your stressed..
 
 I don't do quilts, but I do do x-stitch and stitching on
 occasion although I've been burnt out on x-stitch for
 a while now. Eventually I'll get back to it. I had to
 hem a dress again yesterday.  The suncatchers I really
 do enjoy. A friend's daughter has been painting them
 for me. Her parents are not speaking to me right now 
 (because I set a much needed boundry) so I don't know
 whether I'll get back the ones I wanted or not.
 
 BW> I do hope your pain is alleviated sopblank

 BW> Do keep in touch and a Journal is a wonderful thing. I've kept one for

 BW> it's not.. take care and be good to yourself.
 
 I don't look back that often. Mainly because I think I
 would read it and think that I hadn't progressed at all.
 I know that I have, but there are some things that I am
 still struggling with and that, for me, gets frustrating.
 BW> No Matter what your lot in life. build something on it..:) Bettie
 Definitley, although there are those times when I
 tell God that I have had enough!  Especially when my physical
 pain level is really high.
