I feel a little like I am bothering you. Lou responded to posting of mine regarding Co. indicating I should find out about Colorado Support System. i hope it is O.K. to private post you. I am trying to find out what resources are available in Colorado. I'm in N.NM (as you can tell) but went to school and worked for several years in the Front range (and S. co. too) and still have good friends there. Am considering a move up there, although I don't know if i can really pull it off for several reeasons.
It would help to know about the support groups, medical help anything that is up there. I do know there is a doc. on co. Springs and one taht works with him outside on Boudler--but nothing else. are there other LLMDs. Does the support group meet virtually or in person??!
anyway thanks for any info. you might offer--I am kind of drowning here in the desert, and long for dare i say it green, and good schools for my son, good friends and hopefully good med care.

I thought this had a good thought inside the story line! Enjoy.
A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package.
"What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered - he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.
Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning.
"There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."
The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"
The pig sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers."
The mouse turned to the cow and said "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"
The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose."
So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap alone.
That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.
The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.
The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital, and she returned home with a fever. Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.
But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.
The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.
The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.
So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.
We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.
SEND THIS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER HELPED YOU OUT AND LET THEM KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE.
REMEMBER: EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY; OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON.
One of the best things to hold onto in this world..... is a friend.

Enjoy the Coffee
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself, adds no quality to the coffee in most cases, just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.
What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... and then began eyeing each other's cups.
Now consider this: Life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us."
God brews the coffee, not the cups..........enjoy your coffee!

lightfoot, Thank you so much for these thoughts I read them all the time.
I do have to tell you this is my favorite page. Everytime I open it it has your Quote of "Whoops!" right at the top and cracks me up.
A win-win... a little laugh and then something insprirational.

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark
One: Don't miss the boat.
Two: Remember that we are all in the same boat.
Three: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
Four: Stay fit When you're 600 years old, someone may
ask you to do something really big.
Five: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job
Six: Build your future on high ground.
Seven: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
Eight: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
Nine: When you're stressed, float a while .
Ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
Eleven: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting...
Pass this along and make someone else smile, too. -- May your troubles be less, may your blessings be more, and may nothing but happiness come through your door!
for your info, this same with a photo of Noah's Ark, and woodpecker having HOLES all over the boat! "The Woodpecker Might have to go!" your laugh for today. Bettyg

Got this in my email, and thought it was appropriate for this section with poster's absence to this weekend.
You're My friend, my companion, through good times and my buddy through happy times, beside me you stand, beside me you walk
You're there to listen, you're there to talk, with happiness, with smiles, with pain and tears,
I know you'll be there, through out the years you are all good friends to me. and I am grateful to you.

Thought for the day....... "Each entered the forest at a point he, himself, had chosen, where it was darkest and there was no path.
