Hi all:
Thanks so very much for the support and good wishes. Prayers for
financial stability and the strength to persevere until it arrives
would be more appreciated than you can know. And for some responsive
blindness professionals so I can attain long term stability and
employment and get off the roller coaster, although as Charisma can
attest from some of her posts on list, that is a tall order indeed.
The roller coaster took a dip, and I really need to focus on getting
it on the up swing again.
Again, thanks so much for the support, and prayers would be incredibly welcome!
Courtney
P.S.: And Charisma, the offer of a sympathetic ear means more than you
can know; thank you so very very much.
