Hi DEBILYN

As I am unrealling from all of this and regaining my strength and emotional composure, and all that goes with that, I see a multitude of loving , caring , responses that are filling my mind, heart, and soul. Some I haven't responded to as of yet beings I'm quite drained. I think when I re-red earlier what you are referring to here I picked up on that. At the time I posted it, still overwelmed with some other simular ones, I'm shaky at choosing my wording here and kinda numb in the brain as I haven't slept much in a few days, I felt I should edit and clarify, as I've done with several others as I realize I may need to clarify. Also trying to digest the information I've been trying to get since I've been here and process it. Before I could get to it a knock on my door came from another Katrina evacuee that is still in need too that just moved in and is in a simular boat as me. We met and I invited her in and we were able to share and support each other over our total losses from the hurricanes(Rita too).This took me away for awhile from trying to put in perspective the overwehlming responses and posts that are being made here today on this day of renewal. So while visiting with the person here I went over with her other things I have gathered that I have extras to share with her. She needed chairs , vacuum, dishes,and so on that I will gather up for her that she didn't take back with her today. HP provides when ready, amen.

So if you'll notice I've been trying the best I can not to further damage the situation and clean up any messes I've made that I am able to catch and hopfully make what ever amends I can if they are accepted where needed. I have my short comings and not perfect by any means.

Did you see the one were I posted about talking to each other, I think on the same page as the one you refer to here.. Every time I think of it now over the past few hours, I just get goose bumps all over and thank HP that "its" happening in an awsome way. I feel exstatic about the out pouring of peoples voices and the attempts being made to bring understanding to the forefront foe all of us to share. I feel God working in a powerful way here to bring about some changes and I hope for all of us for the best. I am not a fast responder sometimes, yet I am learning SO SO much. I hope this happens for others too. When I feel on the defensive , unfortunately I studder and get some things screwed up and some times no way to repair. Ive been under alot of stress and trying REAL hard to be careful and still participate at the same time. Some have patients for me and some dont. I'm sure alot of posts will beat mine to the board as I am only one.

I hope you can see what I think I am seeing . I will be doing an edit on that one but delayed. It had crossed my mind to put it some where else and not address one person and dont remember why I didn't as she wasnt the only one telling me simular things only some are a bit different.  Maybe you could email that person and share beings I'm not sure of emails and have no #'s and share what I've shared here with them to speed the delivery as I dont have a group of people to talk about with.

I read your animal post and its absolutely wonderful. I could almost feel being there and was even dreaming of living there and how great it would be to do what you do as that would be my preference of lifestyle. You are quite a writer. And Maresie sure enlightened me with her description of things. Her style helped me to understand alot better. I identify alot with her too.

There have been some I lmaorof (picking up on these some) The one on 'instead of mountain out of molehill' they changed to 'making a whale out of a minnow'. OMG I almost fell out my chair litterally. What a day this is turning out to be.  I'd like to do a post on the differences of humor and jokes to lift the spirit and the ones that are done in a way to make fun of and hurt but I am afraid to do that at this point. You seem good at writing too. Maybe you could. That would be nice.

I hope you read all the ones I am doing and get your own impression. I would be open to and appreciate feed back if you feel I could of been off base and could present in a different way if you feel it inapproapriate. You seem to be such a kind and loving gentle person.

Your are a true angel !   BLESSINGS IN RECOVERY   THANKS AGAIN
