the only thing that's getting me through this time is my diary...and writing letters. I have written a total of 18 pages to my friend over in the middle east region. it helps me pretend like i'm talking to him. i won't actually send all those pages, just an abbreviated version, but it helps me feel closer to him. the fears that i can't even write a pretend letter about are all in my diary. when you feel that even that won't help, TURN OFF THE NEWS and watch a movie (only watch comedies-no romance or drama, that will not help). hopefully the laughter in movies will give you a break from all the cares you have weighing you down. don't stop laughing and smiling, and try not to watch war coverage all day.
