Then (as I said in my post) I started listening to people who didn't get it. It's like they gave me an "out." Yikes! I had to tap my inner "want." I want to pay attention MORE than I want to eat Italian bread with horseradish cheese (not that I've done that recently...). I really do. Because in the end, bread and cheese will only slow me down :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682654311294278511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-48113149085654248952013-03-04T17:56:44.677-06:002013-03-04T17:56:44.677-06:00Welcome to my little corner of the internet, Sharo...Welcome to my little corner of the internet, Sharon!

But now I'm excited to go back and read your story from the beginning as that always brings me extra encouragement and motivation. Looking forward to knowing you better.

I'm enjoying the posts from you maintainers, because of the different approaches and the prractical information that is helpful to those of us still on the losing side of things.
