: I agree, Tiffany. I wish this board could be used for more encouragement and less garbage. I need to think about reasons to be thankful because right now my feelings are hurt and I feel very depressed. I was ready to post something negative to express my feelings and (after Steve said, "Please dont. Pray instead") I read your post. I need to sit down and think about all the people who love me and the things in my life that are going right and the things I am thankful for. Dwelling on the negative just makes me sadder and madder (in both senses of the word). Thanks for a good word.
Nor can I. Cari has been so upset lately, and I have tried to keep her calm and help her not take things personal. But I can no longer deal with my own pain. I have to go on sabbatical now. I love you all, but I must be unavailable to all the critics. I just stayed up all night doing a 19 page term paper and now am studying for 2 final exams. It is hard to concentrate when everyone has something critical to say.
Please follow your dream. Get your building open. You don't need me to do that. You have all it takes.
