Thanks for this thread! Its been a long time since I posted and I've been trying to get up the courage to sign back in and post again. This thread gave me the "in" I needed because I'm not very confident in my ability to contribute to most of the threads. Last year, I lurked for awhile until I finally got up the courage to sign up, posted a little bit, and then got scared and ran back into my shell. Such is my pattern with everyone...nothing to do with anyone here...and I'm trying really hard to change that. I really do appreciate the people who share their journeys here. Its an inspiration to me and lots of other "lurkers" I'm sure.
