why thank you EJ!

it helps to know that what we've used over the years and sometimes learned the very very hard way has helped another........kinda the reason for these boards......so we can all know we're not so alone in what we face or how we deal/cope with things.

lots of reading, lots of therapy, a few intensive therapy retreats (weekends) that were good/bad but overall helpful, lots of different approachs of therapy, along with almost everything but the kitchen sink.......all that adds up to the "wisdom" we dish out like paint your toenails. LOL

however sometimes painting one's nails can be the very ticket to feeling better, if even for the short time it takes to actually brush the enamel on or hopefully longer as one looks at the finished job and smiles thinking of the time one took for themselves.
