{{{{Lynne}}}} keep your spirits up, laugh at adversity, look at your family and count your blessings. Good things will come, you just need to keep a long breath till they do.

A silly idea, but have you thought of selling shares in your herbs business? It could bring in capital to tide you over, if that's what you need. On the other hand, with more time in your hands now, could you not speed up the herbs business to reap its benefits earlier?

Whatever you do though, our thoughts and best wishes with you!
