Carlos,

I am glad to hear that my strength seems to resonate in my words. I do feel like my strong spirit has come home to roost - or, rather, has reemerged after getting tucked deeply inside. It means a lot to me coming from you. I admire your strength and courage - a lot.

Tawnya,

Mitch Hedburg - loved him ( I say loved because, sadly, he died a few years back. He was among the funniest human beings I have ever heard utter words). Have you heard him talk about why he hated turtlenecks? I won't give it away here - go listen...

Lemonsnap,

What perfectly lovely compliments, thank you so much. I am truly always very humbled whenever anyone is kind enough to say I help them in some way. I am just stumbling through this like everyone else and I obviously like to talk. As for your compliment about my writing, I'll just say thank you, you are much too kind. And, thanks for reading all my ramblings, these posts of mine get very long sometimes and I truly appreciate the friends I have made here who are generous enough to slog through them.

V.
