@imaluckydog Thank you for the kind words, you definately made my day.I was about to delete it off because I wasn't sure a poem was appropriate for this site. I realize people are looking for Q&A solutions. But I like to write about the deeper inner feelings of the soul and was hoping it touched somebody. So again thank you.

Glad everything went well for you

TIRED OF BEING AFRAID Many years I walked this complicated land I have built up brick walls that Only God could tear down with a plan I’ve stood in the shadows Always staying behind Afraid of coming to the light Where my spirit would shine Some may look at me And see sometimes a sheltered soul Who hibernates in the hot summer As well the winter cold During periodic retreats I’ve always felt safe I was away from people and things That could possibly hurt me Leaving my heart in a fragile state Not saying I’ve never enjoyed life The way people do It’s just that the ultimate happiness I’ve been seeking Have perpetrated itself in Momentary things and men that wasn’t true Up goes the walls, stronger and thicker Making it hard for anyone to penetrate thru I’m so tired of being afraid Of what the unknown can possibly do The fear factor controlled my solitude life Leaving me helpless and hopeless Like a wounded bird without wings to fly For once in my life, before it’s too late I hope these barriers let down So self can escape Tired of Being Afraid I can no longer be For earthly time is running out And my spirit needs to be set free

I can't tolerate Chicken broth in the boxes, but bouillon cubes are ok. Give them a try or make your own chicken broth

alright now, you are on your way. Good luck on your new adventure and a better you

I love your attitude

Awesome, so happy for you

Hang in there, you are stronger then what your mind is trying to tell you. It won't be awful, and it won't be easy but you will be able to tolerate those days. Good luck
