i think your post says alot. we can't determine every person, post, situation, etc. we can only go by what our eyes, minds and hearts tell us, and support what we can and when we can.

it really CAN be a job! others times it's a pleasure. yet other times, it can be healing. we all come here for our various reasons. some can only give little, some can give alot. some can take very little, some can take alot. some can share a little. some can share alot. most of us fall into something here. that's the beauty of it!

there have been times when i didn't know what i was going to do. i couldn't make a decision or stop crying or whatever. there has always been SOMEONE to lend their eyes and fingers for me.

there will always be issues, disagreements, etc. we're a large community! but what sticks out at the end of the day? the support and understanding, given AND taken, that can be found here on a general basis.

what a blessing that's been to me.
