Your question about how to start a new thread isn't stupid. You would start the thread just as you did this one when you came to the forum.
To start a new thread:
1. Go to the top of the forum and you will see a read button that says "New Topic" this button is to the left of the button "Forum Options". 2. Click on the red button "New Topic" 3. Give your new thread a name in the blank "Subject" line and begin to post in the blank box that has "Post" to the left of it. 4. You may want to post a link to your old thread in your new posting. 5. You may also want to post a link in your old thread to your new thread.
If you aren't sure how to link your threads, I'll be happy to provide the instructions for that as well:
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
