Thanks so much, Ann-Marie and Eric! It's great that we all get each other here. The links are great. My Mom gave me some money for my birthday and instead of spending it on bills/groceries,etc., I am going to use it for a gym membership...and not feel guilty about it!

Paul, I hope you continue to heal and grow stronger each day. It's great that you feel fulfillment with your job. That, in itself, is an important thing for the psyche.

Take good care,
Kerri
