Hi everyone,

I just wanted to say sorry that I haven't been as supportive lately as I would like to be. I want you all to know that I still care very much, I'm just a little self-absorbed right now.

I probably will not respond to a lot of posts, and my responses aren't great. But it's not because I don't care. I really do

If you need me or feel neglected by me, please pm me. I don't want to lose any friends over this. I just think it's time to retreat.

I'll be around, though. And sharing as much as I can with you all.

Love you all everybody...
Angela

I've totally been there. Don't know if you've noticed, but you'll see a lot of posts from me and then none at all. I happen to be in a posting mood right now, hehe. Take time for you, because you matter most!

Love,
Rayna

Sounds like a retreat is the right thing for you right now. But that doesn't mean we won't miss you. I know I do already! You have helped so many people, including me TREMENDOUSLY. Just knowing you're there makes so much difference.

I am going to send up a prayer for you. For serenity, soothing thoughts and many blessings dear girl. May the good things you possess and freely give come back upon yourself.

*********much love and many hugs*************
Kimberly.

You know hon...I'm such a disagreeable wench! I don't want you to pull away at all. No rest for the weary, as they say. Of course, you know I say that with affection. I just don't want you to dig into a hole when you live alone. It ain't healthy. No hiding in that hole Angie.

Wasn't it you who posted that billboard sign with God saying, "Don't MAKE me come down there!"? everybody...

If I believed that you were taking a break in order to do gobs of self-care, I'd be all for it. But I suspect a hole dweller is in our midst! ("takes one to know one!")

If PsychCentral pulls you out of that hole a wee bit....then I want those fingers on the keyboard.

Plus, I'll miss you too much! everybody...

Get your sweet crusading self back here.

I think I was just feeling guilty mostly because I was posting like crazy yesterday, but only for me and not supporting anyone else. I'm not sure still. Part of me wants to go away, part of me doesn't

Angela,

Now you have both tofubutt and Pat after you to stay out of hidey holes. You had better watch out. They're strong smart ladies who know tons more than us younguns. When they speak we had better listen!

So.........I back the kind advice given here by those two and yeah it will take Emsky a while to drive that firetruck down there........oh wait you've showered.....nevermind! everybody...

Listen to the wisdom of the dwellers of hidey holes........they know of what they speak!!

(((SC)))
