hey
i agree with all the above posters, you got sooo much encouragement here, major props, and because you deserve it.
i hope you went out and had a coffee ((heck, i lived in quebec for two yrs and i know the dif between hortons and starbucks, lol)) and had a chatty chat with this woman.
any time we make an effort, take a step (no pun intended) to reach out to another human being - we are improving life on planet earth

we are not here forever
we have an expiration date
so let's live
not merely, exist
((hugs))
