> Scott -Beautiful description of euthymia. Are you conjuring up memories, or is this something you're feeling right now? -Neal
Memories. I clutch them as tightly as I can. They are proof that struggling through the seemingly endless pain and failure can lead to a reward well worth the effort. They keep me alive.
Next time you ask me the question, I hope I have a different answer.

Thanks for asking.
