Thanks, DQ.

I do take your words seriously. We do need to keep talking. I think, for the most part, our talks are productive and positive and keep things happening.

I wish there was some kind of spiritual person (NOT CATHOLIC) that could help us. Some kind of yogi or something. I'm going to ask a friend who is a yoga instructor and very connected in that world. You never know.

There is a specialized relationship center in the area, but they are only open M-F and H can only do weekends.

By the way... I'm reading "Mama Gena's Owner's and Operator's Guide to Men." So far, I've learned about the power of self pleasure and bragging, and I've learned about how living in the doldrums is infectious and brings on suffering for your friends. And, the best way to help others have self-esteem is to have it yourself and lead by example. You and Ali do that so well, and I'm going to start. It all sounds so simple, but when you've lived comfortably in the pits for so long you have no way of thinking your way to that information all on your own.
