When work really hits home

[BonnieR]

I'm sorry to hear that. But you need to do what feels right for you and to preserve your equanimity
A few years ago I had a terrible incident on this board. It was horrible and I cried for days
But eventually the good outweighed the bad and I stayed. I hope that happens for you too
That you'll know that what you are doing for all of us really matters
Keep the faith

Hi Julie. You go girl. I haven't been on the board for a while, and the loss of Adriana kind of solidified it for me.

I too have had some nasty collisions on this site (when Joe came to my rescue) that cut deep. Some were banned from the site, as well they should have been.

We all stand in support of one another, or should. We can differ, but with kindness and caring.

So sorry for your incident from the bottom of my heart. I think of you, and all here, even when I don't post. And you Julie were always a special lady to me. Grateful for your good works and for your sharing of good news.

The 'last ditch effort' phraseology is unfortunate indeed, Flori. Sucks actually. But -- get 'er done! I still recall a friend asking me what stage I was. I couldn't answer. Paul stepped in and said, solemnly, 4th. She is 4th stage. The friend asked how many stages there were....................

I thought, there are no more stages. I guess death is the last stage. But I said nothing. Couldn't salvage that bleak vision. EVERY THOUGHT IS LIKE A PRAYER. EVERY THOUGHT IS A POTENTIAL MIRACLE. WE ARE ALL A POTENTIAL MIRACLE, against all odds. The impossible happens all the time!

Sending Love and Light,
Andi
