You are so correct, Jammie, this really has been a journey of self-discovery and self-awareness.

But you know what? If it wasn't for people like you and this site, I would not be as aware because you all make me think about so many aspects of this journey. I probably would never have discovered or acknowledged many of them if I were left to my own devices.

It's wonderful having a sounding board about my thoughts, feelings, etc and having people come in and share their thoughts and ideas... works way better than the old school paper and pen journalizing where one was faced with only one's point of view.

I am truly thankful and grateful to all of you for helping me understand myself in so many ways.

A big ole heartfelt THANK you, Jammie and all!!
