Hi Melissa, thank you so much for these comments. I would have responded sooner, but -- you guessed it -- I have been packing and sorting. Your comments remind me to not be so quick to discard things that have emotional value. I think I am getting better at keeping what is significant and letting go of what is less so. I happened this weekend to come cross some notes and cards sent to me in 1994 and 1995, a couple of difficult years for me, and I did keep them. Some were signed by people no longer alive, which made them even more special. It was a sacred moment each time I ran my fingers over their handwritten signatures. Again, thank you for your good counsel and for taking the time to respond. Take good care.
