Nola, thank you for your reply. I felt very warmed by it and glad that I took the risk and practiced some vulnerability by voicing my inner thoughts I have been taking the time to really delve deep with what I see and feel. It is not always easy, but often times, there is someone else out there who feels the same as I or can at least finds some of their own truth in it.

"Deify" was a very interesting word that you used. I need to collect my thoughts to explain why I thought it was interesting, but it was certainly a word that stood out. Cheers, Nola.

Byz, you always hit the nail on the head, my dear friend. That is all I need to say. Thank you

Thank you both for your wonderful and meaningful replies.....
