Kate here~

It's only 10:33 p.m. at my house right now, so am I still in?

My three reasons about why I'm thankful for the Boomer Forum:

1. The women here give me invaluable insight and input to whatever is going on in my life and the lives of others. I know this input is appreciated by other members as well.

2. It's a wonderful place to meet women all over the world who were born in a similar time so even though we may be of different geographical locations and perhaps different cultures, there is a common thread that binds us together.

3. And finally, sometimes it's easier to share things that are close to the 'quick' of our beings with people who are similar yet remain somewhat faceless in the same way it's easier, at times, to spill your guts to a complete stranger than it is even to your best friend. There appears to be no judgement here; different views perhaps, but I've seen no harsh judgement.

Ta da. And there I am, I've entered a contest.
