Thank you all so very much for the replies! I checked my email last night, and being pressed for time, didn't check here. Thinking that I had NO responses,(guess I need to update something in my homepageinfo here?), I was prepared to post another (not quite so wordy!) Thank you, Thank you, Thank you all so very much for taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences.
Danny, you and Mark call a truce about the proseletysing(?)!!!! I also am NOT a christian, but can find the spirit just about everywhere I look, and am NOT offended by someone else's ideas on spirituality/religion. I know....let's make a pact- whoever gets there first lets the rest of us know. ;-)
Thanks for the Deep breath thought, Joanna, I forget how much just simple little things like that really do help.
Love to you all and I'll keep you posted. (My appt was resched to next Tues.) Boy, do I have some questions for him!!!!
