Rita,

I hope I will eventually be able to reach out and help others on this forum....or anywhere, like you folks are reaching out to me. I got up tonight because I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. My mind was just too stirred up. Already I am feeling connected to you all and that is so comforting. I think I can sleep now. Thank you.

Carol
