Changing Man

[Gardener]

Avermont, I wanted to answer you here as well as over at Serenity's where you posted to make sure you see it.

Gardener, I can only hope for the detachment and "done with it"feelings you have. Of course, if X keeps behaving as he is, it will be easier to get to that state!

You can't "do" detachment. But if you do everything else, DB-wise, detachment "happens."

I do want to be helpful and post to the newcomers--my heart breaks every time I see a new name with recent "registered" date, but I don't feel I have anything helpful to offer. Do you think just a "welcome, sorry you are here?" is enough?

Yes, Definitely. It's support, commiserating, and better than the interminable waiting for a response - any response - after you've bared yourself and put yourself out there and the ensuing minutes feel like hours.

I want to return some of the massive amounts of good karma that others have been pouring on to me.
So--here are best wishes to you all. I'll keep checking in.

Thank you. Do you have your own "home" thread? I haven't been able to locate it.
