Many of you were right! How can I stay way? :)

First & foremost, I want to say that I have missed each & every one of you. :)

Second, I only strayed from here because I was starting to feel totally out of place. As silly as it may sound, I strayed because I felt that I had nothing in common with anyone here. Everyone here seemed so secure in their general lives while I was totally unsure as to what the future held for me. I now realize that was a silly reason to pull away from everyone.

And I want to say at this time that I bear absolutely no ill will towards anyone here at all. ((G))

Plus there was the whole femme withdrawal thing, the construction thing, and the 7-day-workweek-retail-pre-Xmas-madness thing. :roll:

Thank God that's all over!! The doorway is complete, Christmas has passed, and I can relax again. :)

Third, some of you may have had the misfortune to witness some very ugly exchanges between myself & a few others in other forums - but let us remember that those are other forums that do not uphold the same level of respectability that this forum always has. You're more likely to curse & swear when in a biker bar than you would at a brunch or a wedding. Think about that one for a minute. 8)

I am happy to report that all is well in 2005 - I'm employed (finally, yayyyy) and am finally taking a vacation in April! Going to Diva Las Vegas... 8) (more details to come in another thread)

I miss you all and I hope that you are doing well! And to those of you whom I may have either hurt or offended, I hope that you can find it in your hearts to forgive this crazy NY gal... but some say that my insanity is part of my charm... :lol:

Last year I felt anguish. This year I am feeling nothing but LOVE. @@9@@ ((G))

Lorna,

Let me be the first to welcome you HOME. I have missed you. And I understand we all need room to grow, sometimes away from everyone. I certainly hold no ill will towards. I just can't beleive it, I was thinking about you today, wondering where you were, if everything was alright.

Anyway, I am glad you feel the same about "The" forum, that I do. There is no place like home.

LOve always,
Elizabeth

Miss you hon!!! I'm so happy to be back! (--)
