I’ve been seriously slacking lately. Between the router issues (see my previous post,) work stress, and depression; I haven’t been able to write nearly as much as I’d like in the last few weeks, and I’ve gotten really behind.

There’s a new blog carnival in town, and the first edition is LIVE. Hosted by Jolene, over at Graceful Agony, this first round is introductions from the participants, and includes some amazingly candid posts.
I haven’t known any of these ladies long, but they inspire me and give me strength on the bad days; and allow me the honor of trying to do the same for them. They are the strongest people I know, and I’m so thankful to have found them (thank you Jo . . .)
Jolene amazes me with her strength and determination. She has been suffering agonizing pain, and is now dealing with a beloved family member who is in the hospital dying; but she still found the time and energy to read all of the submissions for the carnival, AND get it posted. I don’t know how she does it, but she is a model for all of us that live with chronic illness and proof that you CAN have a productive life no matter how bad it gets.
