SNOWBALL EFFECT:
Sitting here crying, over one bad thing happening after another, for over 6 days...

LITTLE THINGS MEAN THE MOST:
The mail woman came early & handed me a package. It is from a Native American school,in South Dakota. The Lakota Sioux children sent me HOMEMADE Christmas gifts .. Along with the complimentry gifts, for my donations.

And now im crying for another reason. But this time I am out of my own head.

Wopila Tonka :-)
*Many thanks*

It warms my heart to hear that the native American children had made you home made Christmas gifts for your donations to them. But also sad in a few ways, sad to hear that you've been crying, know that you and your family have been thru a trying time with the lost of a loved one, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, and secondly also sad that not many recognize that November is Native American Heritage Month. So if you are Native American, be proud of your heritage and celebrate and embrace your Native American Heritage and culture.

@MikeN2014: Thank you, sooo much :-) . And yes ,everyone should know November is National Native American month. It is a disgrace, imo that most people don't. It was put thru in 1990 (I believe), by President Bush. * took them long enough*
