I have a nervous habit of smiling, when I'm mad I smile, and of course when I'm happy I smile.
I took a job as a steelworker in 1996. I worked in the pits of hell, with molten iron that was 2,800 degrees. If it was 60 outdoors it was 120 on my jobsite. I was nervous when I started this job and hence the nickname Smiley stuck, to the point that to this day alot of the people I worked with still don't know my real name. The last couple of days my smile has been sucked out of me. I'm sorry to burden all of you with my down moments. I don't care for them much myself.
I reallize I have alot to be thankful for but at times like this I really think God has forgotten about me again. I know he's busy, and I hope he's doing good. I just wish I knew what was going on here.

We are here to be dumped upon, Smiley... unload all you want!
p.s. I'll be checking steelworking off my list of potential careers ;)
That is what we are here to be, Smiley. The place where you can say anything, good, bad, or ugly, and we are here to see it and to empathize and to offer consolation or advice. Just so you know you aren't alone. You do the same for us. Hope things turn around soon. We're all pulling for you and your family.
Oh, Lord! If I had to apologize for everytime I "unloaded" I'd never stop saying that I was sorry. (I'm sorry)
Smiley, at this time in my life I feel as if noone not even God remembers me. Your right, he's prolly just busy but he'll get to us. Keep smilin'. Your family are in my thoughts and prayers continiously.
ya know, it just occurred to me that we're supposedly made "in god's image"... and if that's the case, i know a lot of people with pretty severe ADD, so maybe that's the case here. just wave something shiny and/or sparkly and it may get his attention ;)
