Introspection is a fine fine thing...
... even if you leave yourself adrift and aren't sure how to respond to wonderful replies.
I'm sorry if my responses seem tense, or testy. I mean no offense. Admitting that things actually affect me makes me nervous and throws me off kilter. And my normal response of a happy thank you and a twist with humor isn't quite as good as it usually is. It's odd hearing stories of people in similar situations and reminding myself that they know now that they're not alone and that I can share emotion. It may take me a day or three weeks to get comfortable with it. So please, don't take offense at my responses. (Unless, of course, you really want to. What drama that would be. :))
