Funny, I missed your post Kathryn as I guess Monica is right, I haven’t been round to post on my own thread for a few days. I was out to gaze at Mars last night which looked like an extremely bright star. Brightest in 15 years or so. Not a red moon but a red star lol Blessed that we are looking at moons and planets and not slot machines. Enjoy your little miracles. Monica I too feel for everyone in every situation. I am not sure if I feel their emotions or if I am feeling as I would feel in that situation. Either way it makes for a lot of emotions and I try to damp it down some as I don’t feel it does me a lot of good. It is exhausting over all. But I know i will never totally change that. I had one of those brief situations where I had opportunity to gamble. I thought of my hard won honesty and also how I would feel coming back here to be accountable. I kept on driving. Made it home on time without having to lie as to why I was late. Been enjoying vacation weather and time off work. Gambling would be adding so much stress to my life right now that I do not need. Glad to be gamble free. Laura
