i need to thank you for all your wonderful words of friendship. you all surounded me & gave me hope. Which i needed with two little children. I feel great raising and loving them but it was this group that encouraged & supported. My 4 yrs are almost here. i know i will want to hear from you again some day. I think of you often so thankyou warriors and funny ladies, i needed you all.
my motto is to dream and eat chesses with a little wine!!

Re: just see so many women that were there for me
Thanks, Mimiflower -- and thanks to all those who are keeping this field of "flowers" going. Some of us have thorns, some of us droop more than others, some of us are actually quite pretty weeds, some stay in the shade most of the time, and some are right out there in the sun, but it takes all of us. It is great to see you, and to learn from and with you.....
