I guess people are just wired to try and connect to one's feeling, even though they might not really understand what that person is going through. It's always hard to respond to sympathy when you really don't need it. I, for one, honestly think you're doing great. By the way, the paintings look beautiful. Very vibrant, just like you. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://kurtzandblum.wordpress.com/2013/12/18/should-you-refuse-a-field-sobriety-test/" rel="nofollow">Howard Kurtz @ Kurtz & Blum</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11641206751006762807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950795202790606702.post-46111206693927512392014-02-17T03:12:30.978-08:002014-02-17T03:12:30.978-08:00Loved the quotes and art work.

I still get my feelers hurt when someone doesn't understand why I post and write.

At the time, my goal was good health and a happy marriage - in part as an example for my two children. In April my second husband and I will celebrate 27 happy, healthy years together. May all your dreams come true!Barbara Benedetti Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06091855730335169479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7950795202790606702.post-37892382145865741692014-02-16T07:51:06.758-08:002014-02-16T07:51:06.758-08:00Here's to new chapters and new opportunities! ...Here's to new chapters and new opportunities!
