Kevin - this:-

"I am joining a backpacking/hiking group and a divorce support group."

This is great - but - what do you want your friends to say?

To be honest it looks like you're posting that for some kind of validation, recognition....praise?

You're not going to get that

You're looking for "IT"...you're close to getting "it" but only when you go back and truly take heed of all - ALL of the posters above, will you GET IT...

When you do it'll be like a bomb going off in your head!
