Thank you so much for your support. Isn't it just an age-old truth that knowing you are not alone is comforting. I mean it is only you who really get the fear, the uncertainty so fully. And yet I so wish that NO ONE, I mean NO ONE EVER had to know these feelings. I don't wish this on anyone-not even the weasel that came into my house and stole my jewelry box and antidepressents last week-yes it has been quite a month.

I am trying to pick myself up and continue to be hopeful for new treatments, continued good health overall and learning the lessons I need to about living life.

2006 has been a very hard year for so many people close to me. Many health and relationship issues, losses of loved ones, etc. Has that been true for you too? I have felt very rollercoaster-y this whole year. We have all suffered, are suffering, from the great losses experienced here on the site (now my eyes are all wet).

Anyway, I see this amazing woman for reiki and really so much more. She is tapped into somethin'. She said, for what it is worth, that 2006 was always supposed to be really hard, but that 2007 is to be a very good and "powerful" year. So I hope that we can all collectively pray for and energize big, great things for 2007.

I love you all so much and hoping you all find something to celebrate as we move into a new year.

And Tricia, a special thank you to you for reminding me of your struggles and TRIUMPHS. I have so much respect for all of it. Your words mean so much to me, thank you. And talk about a great smile!
