Have you ever panicked? Well.DON'T!

I just wish that I practiced what I Preach! I joined WA when I was 79 and did well for the first 9 months of my membership. I followed the system. And, reached out for help when needed.

As I mentioned in earlier blogs, I am slow to grasp a lot of things, but I do learn...a LOT.

However, starting in March 2020, I let myself get into a morass of emotions to the point that I didn't function very well. My cover image portrays the state of my mind. On the outside I put up a good front that was a lie. The thought of dying from the pandemic was not the cause of my depression. However, the pandemic caused me to lose my main source of income, (a job), permanently! My wife was in the hospital two times and wiped out most of our savings. Every time I tried to blog on my website, my brain just wouldn't work. Normally, my brain doesn't shut up. We had credit card debt that could never be repaid. Finally, we filed for bankruptcy. Now our lives are back to an even level.

So, I have decided to get my website back on track. Would you believe I have seemingly forgotten everything that I learned here at WA? I guess that is as good as anyplace to start. Well, it's time to "roll up my sleeves" and start again.

Thanks for listening. This has been therapy for myself.
