Hope - I'm so happy for your positive thinking! Good for you! Keep up the good work!
Sounds like you are making great plans, GAL, etc.
Hang in there. Everything happens for a reason, right?
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
