A hug in times of stress.
Prayer in times of crisis
Encouragement in times of doubt.
A laugh in times of sadness.
A smile in times of heartache.
Hope in times of hopelessness.
Assurance in times of fear.
A reminder of the good things in life in times of depression.
And most importantly, love when I need it the most. MDJ has become like a family to me. I have priceless friends that I will hold in my heart and love forever. MDJ is a place of safety, when I know I can be myself and that I am loved. Thank you all SO much, you mean the world to me.

I love this thread. Years ago when I first started posting here we went to the beach every day. Laughed a lot together in the Anyone Awake Discussion.

Now for this journey I am going to dye my hair pink and try and keep folks on that slide. OOOps!

Comments made by me are from my own experience and they are my opinion alone, whose intent is only to share that opinion and not to give medical advice nor discourage from seeking medical help. Medicine is best left to the professionals that is what they do.

PINK!!!

Uppity might not like that but I sure would.

In fact, I did have a pink strip in my hair for my sister.

Now I have some blue but you really can't see it.
