   Thanks for all of your responses - you are all so sweet - (((((Everyone))))) But, please let me clarify - my feelings are not hurt, no one has offended me, I do not feel ignored, neglected, or unappreciated in any way - you guys are the best - honestly. I receive more than enough support and inspiration from so many here at PC. However, a recent incident simply highlighted a particular attitude among some that I wanted to address.
I am not at liberty to share with anyone the serious issues that I know certain other PC members are experiencing that sometimes limit their level of activity on PC just as mine limit me at times; therefore, I could only share my personal situation as an example in order to demonstrate a point. In all truth and honesty, I do NOT consider my situation to be all that unique, especially among those who are around my age. As they say, "If you're going to be old, you can't be a wimp." 
I wanted to give some folks a different perspective on things; instead of assuming the worst about other PC members' characters and motives, give them the benefit of the doubt and do not place unrealistic expectations on your fellow PC Family members because you never know what another person is dealing with in private, and everyone is doing the best they can within their personal limitations.
Does this help clarify?
