Great job Noah for knowing what to do! You and Jerry are doing such a great job with your family.

I was a little sad (but understood) when you said you were going to blog less, that you just didn't enjoy it anymore. And I enjoyed the entry on budgeting! I've never been good at budgeting so learning how others have been successful at it is so helpful!!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08577987845741959339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-77776487269509312382017-08-05T02:48:33.488-04:002017-08-05T02:48:33.488-04:00Katie, you are a great inspiration to me when it c...Katie, you are a great inspiration to me when it comes to blogging and I won't miss your post for anything. I also decided to give some more attention to writing these days. About your last post, it was a wake up call for my household. After reading we decided to do more planning even with our "unstable" income because if it helped you guys then we can be helped too.

And I'm so glad he'll be able to look back and know he handled it well and will be able to handle himself well in other scary situations in the future.

I too have people in my life that wonder how I can be depressed as I have a wonderful life, but they don't always understand depression doesn't only affect those who have a troubled life.

...I'm glad you're enjoying blogging again! <br /><br />I fully get the notion of being tired of talking/thinking about your depression, but I hate that you felt guilty! (Not that anything you feel when you're depressed makes any kind of sense.)

It has been great to hear you sounding so positive and happy, your mood really comes through in your writing.

I have had a blog since 2010, and the last two years I just wasn't into it. I only posted 27 times in all of 2016! haha I was actually thinking about whether I wanted to continue it.

Sounds like Noah already knew the right thing to do in that situation, but knowing first aid/cpr can be great. I don't know how old you have to be to be cpr certified with the Red Cross, but I feel like they probably have classes for younger kids too even if they aren't old enough to be officially certified.K-Koirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933780350863090595noreply@blogger.com
