Please forgive me, loverofcats1948. While flipping through a few older topics, I found that you were actually married. In my previous post to you (above), I was under the impression that you weren't, since you didn't mention it.

That's okay, though. Maybe someone else reading that part of the letter can benefit from it.

Anyway, I hope you come back and read it. You need a big dose of HOPE in your life, and a helping hand to pull you out of that misery. But it's extremely difficult to lift dead weight, so always keep in mind that you need to use your own "leg and arm muscles", too, to assist us as we lift you up.

1) Act as if you are naturally BOLD and CONFIDENT.

2) Get some regular, vigorous physical exercise. TAKE DANCING LESSONS. Be brave, and GO OUT AND DANCE ONCE A WEEK. When you are strong, physically, you become stronger, mentally.

3) Watch your words and your thoughts. What you say and what you think, determine what you get. IF YOU WANT THE CAT, YOU DON'T CALL THE DOG. Do not speak or think lack. Regardless of the symptomatic appearances, convince yourself that you are completely joyful and happy, and prosperous, and FREE. Life will eventually begin to send you people, things, and opportunities that will match up with the energy that you are putting out.

P. S. - In that older post I read, you said that your husband is handicapped. What is his illness? Let me know, and I will pray specifically for his healing to manifest, if you want me to.
