Comments on all articles by Kathy Somers Walsh (992)     Kathy Somers Walsh    How the Choices You Make When You Are a Teenager Affect Your Future. Comment by Rose DesRochers (761)  Rose DesRochers (21 hours 2 minutes ago.) I think we all regret the choices we made as a teenager. If I could go back and see my 18 year old self I would give her a good smack. My daughter who is almost 18 is making a lot of bad choices concerning her education that she repeats over & over. I don't think that even your words will get through to her. Sometimes teens just need to learn the hard way like we did. Comment by Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Kathy Somers Walsh (16 hours 44 minutes ago.)If I could go back to see myself at 18 years old also, I think I would have put myself out of the house. No I wasn't that bad, but I put my parents through a lot of worry. This words in this article probably will not sink in to even 2% of the young people that read this, but it may sink into just one young person mind. Hopefully.... Thanks for leaving a comment Rose !! "How I could use $100 to make the World a Better Place? I have no idea". Comment by Angie Lewis (5,357)    Angie Lewis (40 days 19 hours ago.)Hi kathy, This is a great article. I really liked it. I noticed that you left a comment on one of my articles a long time ago, about 87 days ago to be exact. I'm sorry I did not respond. I must have gotten myself really busy and forgot to go back to the article. I felt like you wanted to talk about something, so I'm inviting you, if you want to email me at anytime if you ever want to talk or just need some encouragement. By the way, your writing is so inspirational - I really enjoy reading what you have to say. God Bless! Angie Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) How the Choices You Make When You Are a Teenager Affect Your Future. Anonymous: (47 days 17 hours ago.) You are right on the mark, Kathy. Well said. Thank you for your insight...I know that doing ourselves is not always the best teacher, but that seems like how I usually learned all the mistakes!!! I'm so glad that God is merciful, your friend and Pastor, Diane Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Kim Comeau from Kuwait: (59 days 9 hours ago.)  Hey Kathy!!! Great article. If it is okay with you, I would like to share this with my students. I teach 13 year olds... something I could use for my homeroom TEAM. Great writing. Kim Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) dave po from po's peek: (60 days 4 hours ago.) Another gem, Kathy. Keep up the writing. Dave po from Po's Peek. Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Dianne Lehmann from Dewey, Arizona: (62 days 23 hours ago.) Hi Kathy. This is a really good article and teenagers everywhere should read it. It might do some of them some good. Others will just blow it off, you know, because teenagers "really do know more and better than their parents." I think we all go through that phase and hopefully survive it. I know one young man who drank and drove and rolled his truck. He was in a coma for three days and has permanent brain damage. Sadly, once he got his license back, he did it again. As for yourself, you really do need to forgive yourself. As a teenager, not having the wisdom you do now, you were making the best decisions you knew how. You probably felt, as we all did, that your parents were just trying to keep you from having fun, from making your own decisions about what was right for you and finding out who you were as a separate individual from your parents. And remember, all those life experiences are what has made you who you are today and given you the wisdom you now possess. Some things can be taught, but some things need to be learned. Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Anonymous: (63 days 16 hours ago.) Hi Kathy, what a great article! I hope there are a lot of teenagers that will read it. What a beautiful young lady you have grown up to be and a wonderful talented Mom... Dar Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Flo from Miramichi: (63 days 17 hours ago.) Nice article Kath. love you xxxx Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Sherry: (64 days ago.) The important thing about that article is this: THIS WILL BE WAY USEFUL TO A LOT OF TEENAGERS. THIS SHOULD BE SENT TO SITES THAT TEENAGERS FREQUENT. YOU ARE SAYING THIS FROM EXPERIENCE AND FROM THE HEART AND WITH THE GOOD OF HUMANS IN MIND. JEEPERS, THIS STORY IS GOING TO SAVE LIVES! SOME TEENAGERS ARE GOING TO READ THIS AND THINK ABOUT IT AND MAKE A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE OR TO NOT DO DRUGS OR TO NOT HAVE A BABY TOO EARLY. OH MY, GREAT JOB, KSW!!!! I really do think this is an inspiring article. I have sent this link to some teenage nephews and nieces, and I encourage others to do that, too, really. Very good writing, Kathy. ALSO, YOU ARE WAY TOO HARD ON YOURSELF. The way you reach out to others by writing these types of helpful, useful, and heartfelt words..........wow, this shows you are such a good, good person. Thank you for writing this excellent article! Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Rosie from NS: (64 days ago.) Hi Kathy I am going to send this article to my Grandaughters.. maybe they will read it and pay attention to what you have said.. thank you for writing it. Rosie Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Teresa Ortiz: (64 days 15 hours ago.) Hi Kathy, very well said. I love the quote on the church sign. It is so true, believe it and keep it close to your heart. If you have repented, and obviously you have, then you are free from your past. It is the devil that would have you feel guilty. Don't give him the satisfaction. Remember 2 Corinthians 5:17. Write out the passage and put it on your frig. Or go read my article "Free from the Past: encouragement for the Soul. Print it out and put it on your frig. I pray many will read this article and take it to heart. May I print it and pass it on to our teens at church? Lord Bless you - Teresa Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Jess from New Brunswick , Canada: (64 days 18 hours ago.) What a great insight into a teenagers life. If we only knew and believed all these things while we were a teenager, life could be so much happier later on. Very Good... I hope lots of teens read this and think of their future. Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Different People, Different Meanings Anonymous: (83 days ago.)  yes it really did. Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) "How I could use $100 to make the World a Better Place? I have no idea". sherry: (88 days 19 hours ago.) Wow, you can see exactly what I meant in my last comment. Kathy, you are really one of the good people. I wish all the warring people on this earth would take time and read the words and see the deeds of people like Kathy. Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Comment by Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Kathy Somers Walsh (88 days 22 hours ago.)I found a place to put the $100 that I had won from this article contest. There is an 80 year old women that I know of, but never met. She had an extremely difficult life. When her husband died he left her with nothing and I mean NOTHING. He was a serious alcoholic. This woman is a christian lady, and I am very good friends with her daughter. Her mom lives 3 hrs from here. This elderly lady has medication that she absolutely NEEDS but doesn't have the money to buy it all the time. Sometimes she has to go with out for weeks at a time. It shouldn't be like that at all. I think all she receives is an old age pension which isn't enough to live on. Her daughter helps her as well, but they don't have the money to do it all the time. I gave the $100 dollars to my friends mother, what she does with it is up to her, but her daughter told me that she will be spending it on the medication that she desperately needs. I know that it won't save the world what I chosen to do with the money, but it will save her world. Sherry: (89 days 4 hours ago.) Here is a funny thing. I have come to know Kathy as a friend. She has calmed me in times of doubt and she has helped when I cry. She has answered my questions when I have a lot of doubt, and she has shared with me real day-to-day strategies to get through sad times. I read this story and these words and eveyrone's comments AFTER I have gotten to know Kathy. It made me smile because if someone had given me this to read and I did not know the author, I would have said, "Wow, that sounds like something Kathy would have said" or "Kathy would really like this" or "Wow, that's a 'Kathy message' for sure. Kathy is such a good, humble child of God and such a nice, giving person. And what talent Kathy has in so many ways, in writing and as an artist in many ways and as a mother and wife and as a friend. I used to see the word "outreach" in newspapers and magazines and I thought that is one of these newfangled words that have come along in today's world because I don't remember hearing that word thirty years ago. But now I like that word if it means that someone is extending their hand and their heart to you. Kathy is so good at outreach, and I think her writings will reach out to readers and help them in immeasurable ways. She is one of the truly good people in the world. I applaud her and I really like her writings. I have truly become a Kathy Somers Walsh fan and I hope she writes more and more. Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Comment by Creative Blogger (3,583)   Creative Blogger (98 days 17 hours ago.)Congratulations on your win Kathy and for your tremendous article. Well done. Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Avis Ward: (98 days 18 hours ago.) Congrats, Kathy!! I just found out today who won and I'm excited for you and all the winners! We're part of one fantastic "Writers' Community!" aren't we? I know you will be blessed as you have blessed others by your big, generous heart. Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Comment by Michael Kocis (1,061)  Michael Kocis (98 days 20 hours ago.)Congratulations Kathy, I enjoyed your article greatly and I for one believe that $100 will change a lot of lives. Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Comment by Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Kathy Somers Walsh (112 days 17 hours ago.)Well I may as well tell you and everyone else that reads my article....I sent the Magazines to the Ambassadors of China, Sudan, Iraq, Afganistan, and Turkey..........hopefully someone will be touched by reading something in the magazine, even if it's only someone sitting in a waiting in a waiting room at there offices. I addressed the magazines right to them personally. and I added it to be a gift From: Jesus........i could have used my name, but there not from me, there from him. And the money left over from the 100 dollars which was 10 dollars I donated it to BGEA. I usally donate money to them when we can afford to. I really really look up to Mr. Graham and his work. I just wish he was getting younger rather than older, cause I love his messages when I see them on TV. Have a Great Day and pray those Magazines find their way to someones heart. I Can't Figure It Out; No One Else Can Figure It Out, So Who Can? Linda Slasberg from Arizona, USA: (120 days 23 hours ago.) Dear Kathy Thanks for your response. You know I wouldn't worry about "hurt feelings", they won't last. It is the most difficult job anyone can do to raise children to be constructive, nice people. I would only add one more thing, don't try and be their friend, that is not your job. They have friends outside of the home, or will have. Your job is to love and cherish them, which includes successful discipline. Don't get down on yourself, it sounds to me like you are doing a great job. Well done, you are being a good Mom. Linda Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Linda Slasberg from Arizona, USA: (121 days ago.) Dear Kathy Reading your article brought memories of my own children when they were little. I am now a grandmother although my grandchildren live overseas so I don't see them. But to get back to your article, although I don't remember everything you said. Maybe this sounds a bit simplistic but I really believe to give in to your children after you have told them "no" is a bad practice. They learn so quickly that "no" doesn't necessarily mean no. Discipline across the board goes together with love. As long as you and your husband stick together on this even when maybe one of you thinks its wrong, keep it to your private moments. Yes, they learn from you, the good and the bad, but my girls who are now 35 and 36 are good decent people who do not take drugs, or drink excessively. They are kind and giving people. Yes, I made mistakes, and yes I slapped them when they misbehaved. As long as they are told and shown lots of love at other times, they will not suffer from the occasional bum slap. As for fighting over toys, I must tell you a funny story that happened to me when my kids were small:- My husband and I made one of them a birthday party. We held it in our large living room with sliding glass doors that led out to the patio. The kids, (my kids) started fighting over some toys. After threatening that I would throw them out, I did just that. I threw them ALL outside onto the patio, closed the doors and wouldn't let the kids out to get them for the rest of the afternoon. They were shocked and cried but I wouldn't give in. They learned. Whenever I threatened I would do something, I gave the threat 3 times then if they continued with their pranks I delivered on the threat, EVERY TIME. They soon learn that when Mom or Dad threaten something it will be carried out. Good luck. Remember consistency. Linda Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) "How I could use $100 to make the World a Better Place? I have no idea". Danielle: (123 days ago.) I love your article Kathy, it is very very good. I agree with you that God can turn your $100 into something great, just like Jesus did with the 5 loafs of bread and 2 fish....Wish everyone on this planet had a heart like you... Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Depression No One Can Understand Unless They Have Had It. Comment by Dianne Lehmann (1,833)   Dianne Lehmann (123 days 17 hours ago.)Kathy, my husband has suffered from depression for most of his life (he is 54 and I am 55). So much of what you said about yourself is true for him. I learned a long time ago that I can't make it better. I would just try to keep him moving and talking. He is actually taking *two* medications right now and they seem to be doing a good job. He also, at one time, thought that he could stop taking medication, but that just did not work out. We've had some concern about side effects and what it is doing to his liver and kidneys. So we have opted for trying to get the maximum benefit from the smallest doses possible. Something you might think about. My heart goes out to you. Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) "How I could use $100 to make the World a Better Place? I have no idea". Comment by Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Kathy Somers Walsh (123 days 21 hours ago.)Buy the way Kevin is my husband, I told him to read this 2 weeks ago to let me know what he thought, so its two weeks later...LOL That's ok, I know he is busy working all the time. Kevin: (123 days 21 hours ago.) Hi Kathy, Just read your article very interesting and certainly something to think about. Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Comment by Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Kathy Somers Walsh (125 days 18 hours ago.)Hi again, I should add, that the 5 people who I chose to send the magazines to are people that need what those magazines have to offer them. Also they are people that everyone probably has heard of or about anyway. I really don't want to say right yet what their names are, I want to see what happens first. I Can't Figure It Out; No One Else Can Figure It Out, So Who Can? Comment by Teresa Ortiz (2,938)  Teresa Ortiz (126 days 13 hours ago.)Kathy, if you go to one of my articles, look underneath my name. You should see "In Season Ministries" underlined in blue. Click on it and it will take you to my web site. On the home page, you will see my e-mail address. Just click it and you should be able to send one to me. If I don't hear from you by tomorrow, I will try you again through the search warp e-mail. I take it you didn't get the last one I tried to send? Lord, please let Kathy's e-mail come through! Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) "How I could use $100 to make the World a Better Place? I have no idea". Christopher Akpeokhai from Montreal: (126 days 23 hours ago.) That's right Kathy Somwers Walsh. Keep on with your good work. You are the type of person the world need in to have a better place. For trust and have Faith in God will help those who are willing to accept his help. Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Christopher Akpeokhai from Montreal: (127 days 1 hour ago.) I am rich but yet I am poor. Each time I look at my right & left, Front & back, I can feel the richness but yet I am poor. What can I do? Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Comment by Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Kathy Somers Walsh (127 days 5 hours ago.)Hi Everyone it's me Kathy. For the past few days a few ideas came to me about what to do with the $100 I wanted to use. One idea kept returning to me again and again. I wasn't really sure about it, so I spoke to the pastor of my church about it as I told you all in the comment up above. Then I still prayed about it and asked God "Is this what I am suppose to do? Is this you telling me or is this just my own idea, or what's going on..." So like I said for days I couldn't shake the idea out of my head and heart. When I started thinking about what I am going to tell you what I did, I became really really scared !! I am still kind of scared but it's to late now... Today I mailed my $100 to BGEA (Billy Graham Evangelistic Association) and this enabled me to send 5, 1 year subscriptions of his "Decision" magazine to 5 people that I don't even know. The "Decision" magazine if some of you do not know about, first has a story and a message that is written by Billy Graham himself. They are very interesting and meaningful. They also teach the about Salvation and there is a prayer at the end of each message that tells people how to invite Jesus into their hearts. Also in the magazine there are stories about people from all over the world, China, India....everywhere. There are personal stories from people and the wonderful changes in there lives and what they are doing now, there are stories on their crusades. etc They have a website for BGEA and you can check out the info on the magazines there. This order is out of my hands now and it's in the hands of the Lord, so what he does with this is up to him. On each order the magazines come to the person as.... This is a gift to you from: I told them to put JESUS on it. Pray that these magazines will reach these people and that God will speak to each person that picks up these magazines to read. I was going to send bibles to a couple of places, but people are more apt to pick up a magazine to read than a bible. There, it's done. Comment by Teresa Ortiz (2,938) Teresa Ortiz (127 days 14 hours ago.)Although our motive should not be for the reward, Yes, we are to be excited about our rewards. 2 Corinthians spends a lot of time talking about the rewards we earn for our works. Our works have nothing to do with salvation-that is a gift, but the Bible talks alot about the rewards for Christians. Even Paul said " I have faught the good fight, I have finished the race and finally there is a crown stored up in heaven for me... If you trust in Jesus for your salvation - you will be going to heaven. That is why Jesus paid the price for sin. I personally hope that my motives are pure in the good that I do, I am looking foward to my crown - this way I can lay it right back at His feet. Did you get my e-mail? if not, click on my bio, then click on "In Season Ministries" at the top, that should take you to my web-site and you should be able to e-mail me from there. Comment by Teresa Ortiz (2,938) Teresa Ortiz (127 days 17 hours ago.)Right on Kathy, you definitely heard from the Lord. I will be praying for those 5 recipients - I know God is faithful and if He asked you to do this, blessing will come. You may never know the impact of how this $100 will change the world, but when you face your maker to get your rewards, you will see exactly what it did do - I personally hope I am in line behind you so that I can hear what Jesus says to you :-) Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) I Can't Figure It Out; No One Else Can Figure It Out, So Who Can? Teresa Ortiz: (127 days 20 hours ago.) Hi Kathy, a swat on the bum is Biblical - Proverbs 13:24 says The one who will not use the rod hates his son, but the one who loves him disciplines him diligently. Also in Prov. 23:13-14 it says - Don't withhold correction from a youth; if you beat hin with a rod, he will not die. Strike him with a rod, and you will rescue his life from Sheol. If God says it is okay, necessary and good for a child, then I would imagine it doesn't teach them to hit others. The key is knowing when to spank and when not to. That's when prayer comes in. My husband and I were just talking about this the other day - my son is a whole foot taller than me and he is in great shape.(He lifts weights and races motorcyles) I am convinced if we didn't spank and put him in the corner when he needed it, he would not have grown to respect me. There is no way I could stop him from stomping all over me if he wanted to. My son has never hit another person - accept the one time when he got so tired of being teased and the boy would not leave him alone - even then, he didn't actually hit, but he pushed the kid back out of his face - unfortunately the kid went flying backward on his bum... Oopps. :-) ( Obviously the words "strike" and "beat" did not mean then what they mean now - certainly God did not give us license to abuse. Talk to you later. God Bless ! Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Teresa Ortiz: (128 days 21 hours ago.) Hi Kathy, I hear your heart, your joy and I sigh with you. It isn't easy being a parent -but it is a wonderful gift! My children are grown, one 19 and the other 17, guess what? I still have the same concerns. But, I can offer some advice 1. Pray, Pray , Pray. 2. Never change your mind - once you have said no - stick to it. My kids used to scream to get there way - if you are in the house, scream with them. They will stop and look at you and not know what to do. 3. Always apologize to the them when you lose you cool, they learn to respect you. 4. Pray, pray, pray. 4. Time out never worked with us, a swat on the bum often did, but what worked all the time was standing in a corner with their nose touching the wall. They hated it! Ask them, they'll tell you it worked. 5. Pray with your kids, not just asking for God to protect them, but pray for your and your husband - it teaches your kids to pray for you as parents. 6. Start praying now for their friends that they will have when they get older, start praying for their girlfriends and their wives - pray for their salvation and relationship with God, pray for the right teachers... you get the idea. Don't just pray for the now, pray for their future. These are just a few things. This is advice that was given to me wehn I first becaome a Christian. It worked for us, I know it will work for you. Are my kids perfect?? NO - but I know that having two envolved parents that are humble and honest have made a big difference in the choices they have made. My daughter is engaged to a wonderful Godly man. My Son, though at the moment not walking with the Lord is doing great in school, works, stays away from drugs and has a sweet girlfriend - and of course, he has his brow piercing :-) (read "No Son , you're not a loser and a druggie) Anyway, this is my two cents, for whatever it is worth. I have much more to offer if you want - send me an e-mail :-) Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) "How I could use $100 to make the World a Better Place? I have no idea". Comment by Teresa Ortiz (2,938) Teresa Ortiz (129 days 15 hours ago.)Kathy, I loved all your ideas ! And I especially loved that God brought to your mind the story of the 5 loaves and 2 fish - Giving to Jesus - that is the only thing that will change this world !!! Lord BLess you and your $100 as you give it to Him - He does have a way of multiplying. I think you really hit it - ultimately, we humans just can't do it alone! You got my vote!! Teresa Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Trudy: (129 days 18 hours ago.) You obviously put a lot of thought in to this.... Bravo! I agree ... our children are a product of their enviornment, and learn by example. It is important to always think about the consequences of our actions, as children will carry these learned traits on into adulthood. What our children are taught and learn at home will ultimately have an effect on whether they will develop a healthy self image, and their ability to have healthy, caring relationships in the future. Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Comment by Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Kathy Somers Walsh (129 days 18 hours ago.)I do have a really really great idea what to do with my 100 dollars, now I just want to pray about it abit and make sure that its what God is telling me to do with it. I told the pastor of the church I attend and there answer was that it certainly was God telling me...... I will be back to let you in on more soon I hope, just wanted to let you know that I have my thoughts underway... Shirley from Canada: (129 days 20 hours ago.)  This is a great article, it shows that you have been doing some serious thinking. I agree with you that love and respect is taught in the home by example. Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Comment by Avis Ward (7,719) (130 days 15 hours ago.)And you said, "I have no idea!" You do and they're great! Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Comment by Hannah Quinn (425)   Hannah Quinn (131 days 11 hours ago.) Kathy I enjoyed reading your article and love the ideas you suggested. I'm a little concerned that you see the world as evil, though. It isn't. I truly believe there is more goodness and kindness in the world than we either realise or are led to believe. Everyday the politicians and the media focus on all the terrible things, but for every one crime or cruel act, there are millions more acts of people leading good lives and taking care of each other. Every time that one person suffers as a victim, millions of people do not. That is not to play down what a victim goes through by any means, but the world isn't full of victims with just a few good people dotted among them. Everyone goes through trials and tribulations of course, that's life, but it's not evil, and it's not the whole story. Anyway, enough of my 'preaching' - perhaps I should air my views in another article - and thank you for reinforcing so many ways we can make each other and ourselves happier. I especially love the idea of encouraging our children to give to the Salvation Army! That's an exceptional idea. Hannah ps: I think it was a typo, but I love that you put defiantly instead of definitely! lol Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Comment by April Lorier (3,930)  April Lorier (131 days 14 hours ago.)Kathy, your article was wonderful! I think you could actually do it! I do enjoy your posts so much! Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Wilson Hare from Miramichi, NB: (132 days 2 hours ago.)  Hi, Kathy; That wae a beautiful, and a lot of thought went into it. Thanks. Wilson Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Rev. Diane Juckes from Miramichi, N.B.: (132 days 9 hours ago.) It's 4 am and I'm just back in from Los Angeles after a 2 week vacation. Saw lots of poverty, hatred, and loneliness there (despite it being Christmas). It certainly lends to what you said about evil (sin) abounding in the world, Kathy, since that is certainly not what God intended. I totally agree that many of the best things in life are free. You hit on several good ones: love, hugs, kind acts, respect, etc. Great article!!!! Keep it up and hope to see you REAL SOON!!! your friend, Diane Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Florence from Miramichi: (132 days 20 hours ago.) Wow great article! Great job! Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Joan from New Brunswick, Canada: (132 days 21 hours ago.) This is an excellent article. If we all did our part in making life better for others it would in turn help the world be a better place. I do believe that making a difference starts at home and the love will radiate to others. Response from Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Depression No One Can Understand Unless They Have Had It PART II Comment by Kathy Somers Walsh (992) Kathy Somers Walsh (207 days 23 hours ago.)Hi Jim, thank you for your comment, and as you I have felt like this a really long time as well. Some of those times are worse than others but it never seems to leave. Yesterday I did start back to the gym, first time in long time. It's hard to go very far with 2 little boys. But since it was Saturday and my husband didn't have to work, I made myself get up early and go. It felt really good and I did feel better that day. So today I got up and I went again, and after the gym I decided to take in church. Which I hardly ever do. But I called the minister whom I know and just asked if it was ok if I went in my gym clothes because I didn't have time to go home and change and get all cleaned up. The minister said, God doesn't care what you wear, just come along like you are, you are more than welcome. So after doing 2 things today that I know makes me feel better, I feel somewhat happy inside. It's work isn't it? To make ourselves feel better for the day, so all I can say is do something that makes you feel good about yourself everyday that you can bring yourself to do and you will smile inside.
