I came home this morning feeling wretched. One side of my head is shaved. (yes, I'm vain)I have the energy level of a slug. My entire head hurts in multiple places. This house is empty and I was feeling really down. If I had some beer I'd be crying in it.
Then I read my mail and it erased those feelings. I read the board and felt like I got a big hug from everyone.
Now I'm going to say something that I should have said before now. Except I'm not the greatest at expressing my feelings. I don't want to miss the chance to now.
We put our thoughts on our computer screen, hit the submit button and then in an instant they are there for everyone to see. It isn't cyberspace where all of these words and thoughts travel to and end up. It's a space inside of us that they end up. I hope that when I say I care about everyone here that my words might reach a place inside of you, and you might feel something close to a hug for helping me through a rough week.
I haven't answered my mail yet because I'm ready to collapse somewhere that' not hard. When I get some energy that is the first thing I'm going to do.
