What a great nugget smack in the middle of typical Sandi treasure trove. I'm saving this entire post.

Hey, Gima,
I took a couple of days off the forum. Plan on jumping in again tonight. Thought I'd catch up on your sitch first before heading out.

Up and down, up and down. But you sound good!

The Christmas/bike questions sound like a good, positive sign. Y'know, we're so accustomed to deflecting positive signs to protect ourselves from disappointments and to continue detaching - the old "yeah, and it could mean nothing at all," - that we can miss the "small changes" Michele tells us to be on the lookout for, those ever-so-slight (though often temporary) movements toward. Toward is toward (it ain't status quo and it ain't backwards).

Or, as I say when I notice small changes in my sitch:

Well, this is certainly good. smile
