When life sends you lemons, make Margaritas. Get liquored up. It works most of the time.

Mandy, you rock. Your problem, whatever it is, may seem insurmountable, but YOU are bigger and better than any problem life can kick your way. So deal with it if you can, or ride it out if that's the only option, but in the end you'll be on your feet, a survivor, and stronger than ever. Even if you can't see it right now, picture the rainbow waiting on the other side of this dark cloud.
Thank you all so much! I'm glad you have you all as my family.
As we are to have you as part of our family. And sometimes I think better than family because we choose to be part of all of this. And so when when one of us share something (either they are felling down or something good has happened) that is how we all feel. So as crazycatperson has said you are a survivor so fix what ever it is if you can and if you can't don't give it any more power or control...kick it to the curb!

My situation has gotten better and should be getting better for now on. I've been having a very rough couple months.
Glad to hear that you're on the upswing! Just stay focused on that light at the end of the tunnel!!

Glad to hear you're feeling better now Mandy.
I think we need to go through bad times occasionally to really appreciate the good times.
I am so glad that you are starting to feel better. We will be here for you whenever you need us.
Thanks Mrhub! I love that video! Annie is my favorite musical.
Thank you everyone! Now that one problem is solved, I can focus on getting everything else into place.

It seems that I take one step forward, then I take three steps back. I would appreciate it if you could keep sending good vibes, pixie dust, prayers or however you encourage others my way please. Thank you.
More good thoughts coming your way from Connecticut.
You got it!

Hi Mandy,
Sending you lots of good thoughts and I hope everything gets better for you soon.
When I was going through my tough times I kept telling myself that God/fate/life (whatever you believe in) only sends you what he knows you are strong enough to deal with. When you get through difficult times and look back, there is nearly always something good to come out of it, even if it is just knowing you made it through and things are looking up.

Sorry to hear it's been so rough and glad it's starting to get better. Still sending lots of positive thoughts your way!
I was just wondering to myself last night how you were doing - I'd noticed you hadn't been posting as much lately. I hope everything works out in the end. I can say from experience that sometimes what you think is the worst, most horrible thing turns out to be exactly what was needed to send you down a new path, with happiness waiting at the end. Here's hoping that in a little while, you will look back on all this and actually be maybe not glad, because no one wants or needs drama in their life, but at least content with how it resolved.
Lots of good wishes and whatever else you need coming your way. 
Diana
Time marches on. Eventually you realize it's doing it across your face.
Prayers and Pixie Dust wishes headed your way. 
Stay strong. Everything always has a way of working out.....I know it is easy for me to say......I will keep you in my thoughts for better times ahead.
Hey Mandy - where are you working the rest of the week? Want a warm hug?
We will send best thoughts and prayers your way - and you will be strong and feel the hugs all around you!
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

Sorry things are rough at the moment, just keep taking one day at a time. Hugs from across the pond and lots of positive vibes.
Mandy you are in my thoughts and prayers and here is some pixie dust and a big hug being sent your way.
