Dear Janice,
I imagine that it is not always necessary to thank someone here for posting replies. But I feel like thanking you anyway for your help and concern. Thank you.
I will offer up a prayer for you that you continue to remain stable and enjoy the rewards that life has to offer you. I know that intuition and gut feelings aren't very reliable, but I am smiling because your description of how you feel is so encouraging.
Get and stay well.
I am concerned about Chris A. also. I have been watching the board hoping to see his name reappear. I guess I'll say a prayer for him too. I have a feeling that he is being taken care of. I hope so.
Love,
Scott
