I do feel comfortable in contributing to other threads now, thanks; at least when I have something worthwhile to add. That may take a while lol!

Ohhh, [with sadness] don't underestimate your value or the value of your contributions Ellie. I'm understanding more and more, the older I get that we humans don't overvalue some people (celebrities, athletes etc) we UNDERvalue everyone and most often, OURSELVES! You are a wonderful person, unique and special in unimaginable ways and what you have experienced and what you have to say is as worthwhile as anything I've ever heard here even if it sounds redundant to you. Your individual twist on something might be the thing that resonates with some lonely soul and gives them the encouragement they need at just the right time. You might think what you are saying is old hat but don't forget the hundreds, if not thousands, who are new and only observing in silence. You and your story are important to someone ...guaranteed! ...And that goes for ALL of you, but especially those in the shadows. I know I don't say it to everyone (I'm busy, as we all are) but if I could, I would welcome everyone this warmly. This community is priceless but it takes everyone to keep it that way.
