Was just catching up on your recent entries. Sorry to hear you are down. Counting our blessings is a good thing we should all do. You deserve to be happy and it is important to seek out the help you need. Am sure your friends on OD are wanting only the best for you. Hope today is a good one. The scrapbooking get together sounded like good fun.
