it's been WAY too long

   I'm gonna flame myself, here.  I can't remember the last time I posted and I even stopped lurking for a long, long time.
   But it's time I come back.  I miss the wealth of understanding and humor.  I need the understanding and honesty.  And I FINALLY got my laptop back from my daughter, so getting on the internet won't be nearly as challenging as it has been.
   Through three long years and nine surgeries I've been telling myself that it's better that I not bring my anger,bitterness,pain, and hopeless attitude to the wonderful people on this board.  But it's not better.  It's wrong.  I need all y'all.
   I'll be updating my profile soon to bring anyone who's interested up to date.  For now, suffice it to say that I realize I'm not alone with my challenges unless I choose to be.  So I'm back - for better or for worse.
   The way I am, physically as well as emotionally, right now is not what I imagined almost four years ago.  Is anyone?  But I'm still alive-and that's where I'm choosing to start today.  From here - I intend to work on BETTER, NOT PERFECT. 
   To all my old friends - I've missed you, alot. 
   To all my soon to be friends (I hope) - Hello
So.  When's the next coffee in Burnsville, cause I need to be there, too.

Hey there!

It was great to meet you a couple of weeks ago at Bville coffee!  Glad to see you post!  Burnsville coffee was this weekend with Eagan coffee next weekend.  They rotate.  I would love to see you at either!!!!

Dorthe!!!  I was just asking Granny Eileen if she's heard from you!!  I think about you all the time and wonder how you're doing!  I'm soo happy that you're back on the boards.  We love ya girlfriend and don't want you to carry the load yourself, that's what friends are for!

Take care!  Hugs too!
