Congratulations! You have been doing a great job, as your blogs are usually right on target with the issues I'm dealing with at the time. It's pretty amazing considering the wide range of them that I have to deal with on a daily basis.
I have spent most of my life not talking about my issues, so it's very refreshing to feel like I can finally talk about them openly. You have faced similar struggles. Part of being able to deal with them is first knowing what they are, so that you can deal with them!
I'm so happy for you and grateful you came to so many of our rescue. We aren't the only ones in this world with these problems, I know I've felt that way throughout my life. I thank God for you!!!
Wow! How time flies. You should be exceptionally proud of your achievement, we all are. I don't know what we'd do without your insightful help. Here's to the next 2000!
