Thanks for the hellos & the welcomes.
Bodak, I anticipate great conversations and a grateful exchange of stories and information.
Mary, the art history
thing was a more-or-less natural progression from a life-long enthrallment with symbols and symbolism, especially religious symbolism as found in late medieval and renaissance art. But, yes, I am somewhat of a perennial student.
Waddie, Shug has told me so much about you and your courageous ventures that I feel as if I know you. It is fun to see you.
SnowOwl, paganism
runs in my family. My mother was the
neighborhood "go-to" for herbal treatments, potions and notions. As
children we were taught about the phases of the Moon, the seasonal
ritual celebrations: the equinoxes and the solstices. My grandmother taught me to dance with my shadow under the full Moon in recognition of who I am at heart.
Babs, Lynn two more fine folks I recognize! The sentiment runs in both directions.
Leila, I look forward to chatting with you. Linccn, I just read about your grand family reuniting: great news.
Phatgirl2, it is a pleasure to be here, in a place where people are supportive and encouraging to those who are plowing through a bad patch.
Lindy, I have often wondered if there is not some connection between career choices and inflammatory diseases; maybe a connection between constant exposure to other's illnesses and injuries and the
sympatico neural response. I attempted to get funding for an epidemiological study, but there is not much glamor in swollen joints, unless they are found in an over-payed, temperamental athlete. I digress. Unfortunately I have a marked tendency/penchant for digressing.
Janie, I hope you and your son are comfortable and easy-peasy this weekend. My combo therapy has me one the path of tight control with remission just over the horizon.
Kalamazoo, it is always nice to meet another old hippie. We can be so entertaining.
Lovie, hello, thanks for the warning about the various disruptions and diversions. I agree about the value of sharing experiences. Thank you.
Hi GG, I too think I will enjoy it here.
Buenos dias, Joan

. I would have been rising soon but this still morning quietness is perfect ,although there is a chill in the air.
I Rhymed! I missed your earlier intro, so welcome! Even as I feel sad about the reason for being here, I love hearing from new folks.
