I wonder if any of us will ever get to that point. I mean I know I am stronger now than I ever have been in the past, but then again, my circumstances aren't nearly as severe as some of the others that I've seen on here (at least not at this point).

I believe, at least from reading your posts, that you are a stronger person as well. We all have good and bad days, but if you go back and read your first posts and look at them now, you can see a definite change in attitude.

Thanks for the words of encouragement.
