Ha! This is a very clever concept! You should run a competition!

Thank you Ahavati. These days it seems like you're my biggest advocate. I miss Danny (Dada).  He gave me such a warm welcome when I first joined the site. I cried my eyes out when I found out about his death. It just so happened I was listening to Benjamin Tod's "Wyoming" at the time and boy that made the grief deeper. I've been thinking about him all day today. Your kind comment reminds me of the importance of reaching out no matter what. I am only alone when I choose to be. I just wish I didn't choose it so often.

Oh gosh, just felt a dagger through my heart. Yes, his birthday is coming up and I always think of him at this time of the year, especially. And baseball season!

I hope you don't base the quality of your work on the number of comments ( or lack of ) you receive. You connect with likeminded or those who understand where you're coming from.

So keep going. :-)

You are right Ahavati. I was feeling particularly emotional that day and let self-pity creep in. People pleasing is one of my character defects and I am grateful to be reminded I am not my work. It does not define my worth. I am a valuable child of God.
