You're so sweet to post to me in your newness! I was just about to sink into embarassment for having put all that out there and not gotten much response (except dreamerz, I don't mean to say your's didn't count--if you hadn't posted I would actually be under the bed at this very moment.) I started to feel bad about what I said and thought maybe I should just not post anymore-- I have a way of turning most everything against myself if given the opportunity. So your response came at a good time. About what you said-- last night I was watching something on television about people with severe obsessive compulsive disorder. There was one "hoarder" (and I mean stuff to the ceiling hoarding) helping another with ways to get rid of some stuff a little at a time. She said, "Remember, an inch is a cinch but a yard is hard". It sounded silly at first, but it was those words that the man remembered when he went home and began the task in front of him. And that kind of thinking has helped me. I thought, An inch. Now that I can handle. So thank you again for your post, and here is a grateful welcome from me.
