Thank you all for your warm welcome. Thank you. I hope . . . ???? I don't know what I hope.

A friend of mine, a neighbor actually, is a social worker. One day standing in the back yard conversating, we talked, and she shared, about the doo doo bird. The bird that flys over and dumps ***** on you and leaves. It made me think that this is not what we want to be.

I hope to give as much as I get.

I do have friends and a long-standing relationship on another forum which has provided comfort and support. I'm looking to grow. Not just stay stuck with 'survivor issues' but moving beyond.
