Be glad you gals are starting this program at a much younger age than me. Your children will see a change in you before they've grown up. Some days I still have anxiety about every little thing. I know a big part is because I procrastinate over and over till everything piles up and overwhelms me. I'm having some anxiety about getting food together and going to my daughter's house and help with painting. I never paint. When I tried I make more mess than it's worth. Well, I told her to teach me. Maybe the good could be I'd be able to paint in my house and that would brighten things up with color and cheer me, make me feel good about myself??? Wouldn't that be nice.
fear not, I'm glad you're getting that book. I won't be getting it (too many others now and gotta watch my pennies) so hope you'll share it with the rest of us on here. Have you ready any of Patsy's other books? I gotta dig the one out I have of hers and will let you know the title. I could use some humor.

forever young o6,Hello!!Hey guess what?I ended up going to the school open house last night.It was a little tough but I did it!!I just said"God I'm trusting in You fully".I also remembered what you said about just put one foot in front of the other.When I'm out in public I get a very uncomfortable off-balanced feeling so I literally took your advice and just started counting my steps.It helped!Yes I'm married.My husband has anger issues and is verbally abusive.Very little support.I have four kids.My oldest is 18{boy},I have two daughters.One is 13 and one is 12.I also have a 7 year old little boy.You probably won't believe this but I'm also a grandma.I have a 7 month old granddaughter.I live just north of Indianapolis.I know that it's hard to believe that we do this to ourselves.I'm having trouble believing this myself.I try doing a lot of the positive things and the anxiety is still always there.We have to remember that it took us along time to get this way.It's going to take us a while to come out of it.We have to have more patients and keep our trust in God strong no matter what our circumstances.We can do this!One day we'll look back and say I can't believe that I put myself through all that!Take care!God Bless you!!
