Kiwi, Glad things are going well for you. Also glad that the quote from the Dalai Lama stuck with you. This was really a turning point for me, to stop being angry at my W and at the sitch and to instead focus on all my blessings and the opportunities that life has given me. (Dave and Cliffy helped me a lot with this too.)
Take care, SD
