You folks make me blush.

Bridget,
I always seem to have time for a cup...more like 8 cups a day, at least during the work week.

Glad I can help in some small way.

LL,
Aren't we all on a trek that seems as strange as the one to Oz? How long it takes is different for each person. I can't say that I've found my way home yet, but I do believe the means is within each of us. Once we find the answers within that we are seeking, then we will find our way home. Remember the fairy tells Dorthy she had the means to get home the whole time, but only when she was ready to go home would she be able to...

Quoting Jethro:
There's no place like home...no place like home...
That says it all...doesn't it?
To realize that you can find the happiness you seek right where you always had been the whole time, you just need to see, work for it, to want to run towards it rather than away....

Sue, thanks for dropping by. You certainly are a contender for the blue ribbon for patience. I've been anticipating for while now, in hopes of a lot of positive growth to be sparked and nurished this spring season.

In light of that, I took Thursday and Friday off from work as my W had those days off as well. It was pretty much all as I had hoped. Open the windows and enjoyed the fresh air. Worked on some outside projects. Got out and about. Spent some time down by the river, just soaking up the sun. My W still had some bad moments, a really bad headache here, a panic attack there, but instead of making the whole day bad in her eyes, they took up only part of the day as bad and the rest of the time was good. This seemed to open her eyes more to the possiblity of having a good day, inspite of a bad few hours. So things are looking up and are getting better...working ever so slowly towards making each day better than the day before.

'til later,
KAW
