Thanks so much for the feedback and encouragement, everyone.

Aleta, that's a great comparison, and a good therapist is definitely a teacher in many respects, so I think it fits especially well here.

Paris, I agree with you completely - thanks for the thoughts.

Hanify, I know exactly what you mean. I appreciate your insight.

Now back to badgering Des for those pics....  >:D

Excellent idea about the letter.  I wouldn't write it as a goodbye letter however but as a thank you for living letter.

Oh no Aleta, does that mean I have to be the wise one while you are gone?  I'm just not up to it...

Hey, anybody know how Chris got his picture in my avitar spot?

It is very cold in Raleigh right now.  We are having the coldest stretch of days since the '70's!   Bright and sunny, but cold. I am staying inside, under a warm blanket doing nothing. There is plenty I need to do, but I am not doing any of it.   I am declaring it a "cold" day and having my own holiday.    :rofl;      And Beth returns from NYC tonight.  Yea!

Good thing is, it will be back to normal in a few days.  That is what I love about our area. We can get some snow, we do get cold, but it all goes away as quickly as it comes.   Of all the states I have lived in, I will stay right here in NC.  Of course, I don't ever want to move again, so no matter where I am, that is where I am staying.   :rofl;    But when it is this cold, I want to see some snow!  (if I can stay home!)    :rofl;     :rofl;

Old fashioned way of cleaning is sometimes best. Mops just can't scrub hard and don't get the tile gout(?) clean to well.

Morning IHD - Monday - back to reality after all the holiday celebrations.  Snow cleared out for now.  Some parts of our state received 32 inches of snow..... better them than me.  We only got around 8 to 10 inches which is very manageable. 

Back to work.  Have a great day everyone.   :bunny:
