Hello Z,

I haven’t been on the board much this week, so I’m sorry if it seems like a life-time ago that I checked in with you. I agree with you. Eirinn had some excellent validating statements (above).

It sounds like you have a busy GAL ahead. Good! That has been one thing that has really helped me, even though I backslide at times. I feel SO much better about myself, getting out for a few laughs with friends, etc.

Hang in there, ok? We have your back!

Your buddy,

Bob smile
