@day0718 At 77, I totally agree, thank you. I have learned that I cannot love anyone if I do not love myself; a tad sad it took me so long. And I also, no longer am concerned about what other people think of me. For me, living alone (and yes, liking it) I have found:
* Fear destroys Joy
* Fear destroys Hope, and...
* Fear destroys Courage
Thank you once again, and have a GREAT day.
