I'm thankful for getting the opportunity to meet and know all of you. I don't want to get all sappy, because that will just lead to blubbering and sobbing...and then I'll be all wet. You don't need to see that.

Thank you, everyone for being who you are, and for showing me it's ok for me to be who I am.

Love you all.


ps...I'm also thankful for my spiffy new AV that Aqua hooked me up with!

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
