Marie,

Marie and Ed, you are probably at the Gamma Center as I type. So my prayers and brain power are headed towards you. The Gamma people probably have this all under control. Now we need to get inside your little head and deal with those blue meanines that are bringing you down. It is so easy to be depressed and then so easy to be disappointed in ourselves because we let the blue meanies win. When this happens to me, my sister gets me out of the house or encourages me to set up a coffee date or wine date with a girlfriend. You may not have time to do this. How about a phone date? Put something on your calendar that you can look forward to, no matter how small. Not sure how much free time you have, but how about a pedicure? Get something booked. You seem to have a 24-hour job being the best wife on this planet....find an hour that is just for you and then look forward to it. In the meantime, enjoy every minute of looking and shopping in the gift shop. Retail therapy is scientifcally proven. I am surprized we do not have a page on our site dedicated to Retail Therapy.

Hugs and love to you, Catherine
