Bubble bath. What a great idea. I don't remember the last time I took a bubble bath. Actually when I was really depressed, if I could manage to brush my teeth I considered it a victory. Im feeling ok today. Just got off the phone with a really close friend. I think I have had some situational stuff that has since resolved a bit, that sort of got me down. As always I REALLY appreciate your support. I just wish I was better at giving it back. Have a great week.

> Hey, kid. You know, a few months back, I posted about the fact that I have a husband who regularly suggests I take bubble baths, a beautiful son who knows nothing is wrong with the world except the fact that Elmo is not on TV twenty-four hours a day, and friends who rival my trained therapist in the support and empathy departments. I have a great life and I most definitely have moments of feeling like a spoiled rotten child.

Many, if not all, of us here are suffering from pain that runs much deeper and I think it is what keeps many of us Babblers feeling so connected. That said, we all deserve to be free of the deep hurt many of us are living with. Including you, kid.
