God bless you Kimberly. You have said many things that hit the nail on the head, over and over again. I have tears in my eyes over it. Your quote from Paul was excellent. I had forgotten about it and Paul in general (who is the most realistic apostle). I will have to read him. He is very "get up and get out there".


Many of my friends also say " its gone and you're cured". Well, we all sure hope so and "statistically" many of us are but you have to live it to understand and and today, I sure do understand everything you have said.

Take care dear friend and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
