My dear sweet LouR. job reminded me of you and of your courage and perseverance. Your thread just happened to pop up as well. I had been wondering what was going on in your world.

Stop that crap Right There! Right Now! You are a sweet giving person with a kind heart. I know that I'm on the opposite side of the planet from you and am perhaps more than a bit of a mess myself but to me the most important thing in this world in a partner is a kind heart.
I'm probably going to get whacked with some 2X4s for this on my own thread and I don't know if you are following my own story or not, but the one woman who made me think about stopping Standing wasn't attractive to me for anything other than her kind heart and compassion. Not to toot my own horn too much, I have a genius level IQ (not that you can tell from what I write ) and like to believe that as the song says that "the looks decent wagon didn't pass me by". I still regularly think about her quite fondly and it takes a force of will to not chase after her. You are also a kind, giving person who I would be delighted to spend an afternoon rambling along a NZ beach looking for ambergris - who else but than someone with a kind heart could find the idea of finding whale poop a grand adventure!

I hope I gave you a smile - you are worth it. I BELIEVE in you.
