Hi Bruce. Welcome to the group! This is a fairly quiet room, but I am hoping things will liven up. Maybe that is just what we need, a guy's perspective. I am anxious to start learning to live with a positive attitude and have some gusto in my life, instead of my butt and mind always dragging. I joined the room a few months back and had dropped but missed it and I am back and more ready to accept and move on. I look forward to talking to you.
Yes I am a little anxious over the teleclass also. I have a doctor appointment with my psych doc that same day and it is about 65 miles away. I don't know that I'll be back home in time and I hate it really bad if I have to miss. Of all the days it was that one. They are calling for snow and sleet and freezing rain now through Thursday night so I might be snowbound and then I can be at the teleclass. Sigh, however I really need my appointment this time. I will hush now for a bit and send my intro below. Anyone else join in and have some fun with us. Again welcome.
Welcome to the group. My name is Sharon (Shar).
I am from a small town in Southern Illinois.
I turned the big 40 this year, and am still single.
Eeeek, only a couple months away from the big 41!
I grew up on a small farm in Missouri.
You will soon notice that I love animals,
except the creepy stuff like snakes & spiders.
I especially adore dogs.
My true love though is my dog named Cricket.
She is my spoiled rotten kid with fur.

I enjoy nature and taking her out to the park
or for a drive to a pretty quiet spot and just sit and
"soak in" the peace and sounds and smells.
I also enjoy reading and journaling, sketching, a little bit of craft stuff,
and working with the flowers in my yard.
I enjoy messing on the computer
and I also have a website that I "try" to update monthly.
I have severe long-term depression and anxiety disorder,
along with a bit of obsessive/compulsive behavior
thrown in it just for some spice and flavor.
It is a constant struggle, but worth the fight.
At least that is what I am trying to believe
and learn and change within myself.
Having people who understand and care really helps.
I hope you will enjoy the group.
