I will have a good lunch. I will see people and do the things I\u2019ve planned. I may not feel good about it, but I know that energy of others will keep me going no matter how depressed I am.<\/p>\n<p>I will not give up and let this rotten illness take this day from me.<\/p>\n<p>Julie<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">PS:\u00a0 Where are you today as compared to 2007?\u00a0 What is going well?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just found this blog.
