Well my dears, I think this post will finally give me the points I need for level 8. Its been an emotional ride and I am seriously genuinely grateful for being around for the past 10 months. I was devastated after my marriage ended, I lost absolutely everything, my home, my children, everything (even my blessed rice cooker). I found a nice new house, a new fella and two of the three children are back with me (for now). I can't say I am overly happy but I am in a far far better place than I was two years ago (a lot fatter mind!) I think it really helped me, logging on and chatting to people who for the most part think like me. Yes, despite having lived in USA for 6 years, I still sometimes feel like I need a translator but overall, I am pleased to have met you all.
I love love love meeting people from all around the globe (Not to disregard our Aussie and Kiwi friends who bring such value to the conversation) and its amazing to hear what is happening to you in your lives and despite that, for the most part how much we have alike. You are doing a good job being a human, well done.
Love Jayne
