feeling discouraged

i'm feeling rather discouraged today as i sit here and print out envelopes for flyers about my bk. last wk i sent plenty to all the various va places listed on the va.gov to washington state and nothing. there is a stack of envelopes w/ flyers ready to be sent to idaho and nevada once i go get stamps and now i'm working on california (va clinics & hospitals only...man, one forgets how big california is until there are tons to send flyers to). but just thought i'd share that the silence sure puts doubts in one's head as to whether one had a good idea or not. on the other hand, my first little check for a little order came today, so that's good, but somehow i'm not very encouraged. maybe if i just got enough sleep i wouldn't feel so down. stupid husband and his nightmares and old dog w/ his wandering in the middle of the night (last night he needed to go out every two hrs. for what i don't know but he'd wander --on our wood floors, clink clink clink--and scratch til we let him out). what a bitch session! its done for now. :)

Maybe the word is 'impatient'??? And lack of sleep can definitely make everything more difficult. So, don't take anything too seriously - and hold your goal in your mind with great passion. It will come.

Love you loads,
Mom
