Robyne,
I normally am the jokester.....finding something to make people laugh, but this time I think I'll stay a little serious with this quote:
We should never despair, our situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will again. If new difficulties arise, we must only put forth new exertions and proportion our efforts to the exigency of the times. -General George Washington-
Well, he is considered the father of our country.........we may not be that all-fired important, but we have husbands, children, siblings, friends, co-workers, even the mailman, whose lives would be poorer for us not being here!
My husband recently found out this truth.....that we touch and affect more lives than we know. He was depressed (partly because of my pain and partly because of wrecking his new truck and all the insurance and court hassles) and he was walking around work with his head down, messing up orders, not smiling and saying 'Hi' to all. Well, he's feeling better now and almost back to his old self......and people that had never returned his 'Hi' or even acted like they knew he was alive before, told him how nice it was to see him smiling again.
Rather long-winded I know, but I think all who participate in the board feel the same way about others here. We may never meet face-to-face, we are a family!
Get better!
love and gentle hugs, kcmo rose
