This is national Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We can help the research. Information is on the website. Just go to my side bar and click on the pink button to help fund mammograms for women who can't afford them. I've had that site on my tool bar for about 3 years. Go there. Click. Look in the store. Buy something and help more. Go on . . . you need to do this.
Today is also Respect Life Sunday. I have been reading journals and their comments. I have also commented. My precious grand-daughter was born at 32 weeks gestation. She had to be in the NICU ~ the doctors told us she would be there for months and that she might die in the next two days because her little lungs were too weak. She came home in 12 days. She's 22 years old now. Should my daughter have aborted her? She was just 17 years old - so very young! I was young when I had my first son - 16 years old. I didn't abort or keep him. I have the privilege of knowing him and his family. We would have lost so much if we had scraped them away. Enough said.
The house is still standing, the crisis has been put on the back burner for now and I'm 46 lbs less than I was in May. We are thinking about moving somewhere not so costly to live. We just don't want to live in a dust bowl. Rents here take a great deal of our disability incomes. There are some very beautiful places where we could make house payments that would be less than our rent. I have read journals in the past month, but rarely comment. I haven't been to great at comments anyway.
I'm not making any promises about when I will write again. I have good intentions, but get sidelined. I love being a part of J-Land. It's like home for me. No matter where I go, I can open up the laptop and be "home" again. Many blessings to you all . . .

Glad to hear things are starting to find a new kind of normal over there. I know what you mean about always feeling at home here. It doesn't matter where or when you are J-land is always here!
Cost of living is pretty low in the midwest! If you can stand the humidity and heat in summer and the snow and freezing rain in winter. Thanks for checking in.
Hey, think about moving over here, LOL. Anyway, glad things are getting at least a little bit back to normal. Jlanders will always be here waiting for you.

I hope you feel better soon. I dont often get to write in my journal for many reasons. I do read most of the journals I have on my alerts, but many times do not comment. It is nice to see you here, look forward to when you come back on line more often. God bless and take care.
I am so very sorry that you have been so ill. I hope you are doing lots better. I will continue to keep you in my prayers.
It is amazing to me how housing costs can vary so much from state to state or city to city. Maybe look around on the internet some to help you find something you can afford better. Good luck.

Hi Penny- You have lost a lot of weight- which is a good thing, but I do pray you'll find out what's going on and get better. I'm glad you were able to write for now- I miss you, but do understand! I'll keep you guys in my prayers as you're in my thoughts often too. God Bless and hope all goes well with you all! love Carolyn
It is nice to see you writing. I am sorry you have been sick, and hope that you are doing much better now.
