Jane, You have a comforting and a supportive way of responding to members. I noticed this when I first met you. I have always enjoyed conversations with you. Do you remember when we discussed sitting on the porch sipping tea together? That is the one of my favorite images.
As the others have already said, you don't need to reinvent yourself.
If I can be of any assistance - Please let me know.

Absolutely, Rosemary. Love and hugs and a pretty mug of fragrant, steaming tea to you. Look for me soon. Hope to hear from you again in the near future. Off to vote, me lovelies!

Thanks for the positive reassurances. I am being myself, I think. I am sure this is temporary.

On a different note entirely, there was a Facebook post yesterday about my donor, from a newspaper article. The article was written by her husband. I have always had sincere grief for her parents and widower, but this article has had me really distraught. This young woman should not have died. She went to the ER with an asthma attack at 4:30 in the morning and couldn’t get in the door she went to so she called 911. They contacted the hospital and told her where to go. She told them she was dying. She died feet away from the entry. By the time they got to her she was gone.
The on-duty nurse really blew it.
I knew her name because the parents had been very forthcoming when they responded to my letter to them.

@rosemarya I do remember the conversation about drinking tea together and often think of it when I make myself some tea! When we were in Denver we went to the celestial seasonings factory for their tour and tastings. I have discovered a whole new world of beverages, fruit teas! Delicious. My favorite for this time of year isn’t really fruit, it’s maple ginger. The fruit teas were excellent cold and will be my new summer beverage, no calories.
