Hi Jackie,
Welcome to Boomer. I hope you're finding a warm welcome here. We're a wise and awesome group of women here.

Are you familiar with The Highly Sensitive Person?
I'm in the middle of reading it...started a a couple of months ago, but can't seem to finish it, even though it's talking about "me"!

I live in soutwest Colorado, an hour east of Durango. I stayed overnight in Durango in the early 1980's while enroute from Loveland to Pecos New Mexico. I LOVED that drive through the mountains...some of those vistas remain as vivid in my mind today as they were that day we drove through. I don't recall Pagosa Springs, but do remember having to stop to watch a parade in one of the little towns along the way. We got "buzzed" but two military planes. Great memories.

Anyway, welcome again, and I look forward to hearing your voice. Have you checked out some of the other discussions yet?
