Maybe you could fantasize about how you would like things to be and then start a wish list and then start goal setting and make a to do list to get you to those goals and there you go, you're busy!  I realize I am trying to fix it for you and I really can't but I do care and will pray that you can find PEACE.........Another idea just popped into my head.  How would you feel about writing to some people who you might never have expected to write to or they would never have expected you to write to them.  Like an old school friend, or distant relative or even some of those people in Iraq that represent the U.S.  I heard they have programs on the internet where you can write to those people who don't have families to write to them.  Gee, hope you can hang in there.  I really do.  I hate this panic stuff!
