Welcome Aqua -

I believe it was Corrie ten Boom who said, "our attitudes are our own" and if she didn't she should have! She was a Dutch woman who was wrongfully imprisoned in a WWII concentration camp; both her father and sister died in the camp. Yet, she came out of the darkness into the light and spent the rest of her life "tramping for the Lord" as she liked to say. Remarkable woman, incredible story.

But then remarkable women always have incredible stories, don't we?! ggg --- because I don't know how to do those cute little smiley faces...

Welcome, and again I say welcome! You're in great company here...these forums are FULL of incredible women.

Welcome to BW, Aqua. I finally have someone else here from WI. We have two things in common. You are in the right place. Just hang in there.

The Boomer women are here to help and to heal!

I know they helped me when I needed it.

Is the corollary to this that I shouldn't tell any jokes??

Don't you dare stop telling jokes Meredith!

Sometimes I need to shut my mouth!

I take it back...JJ go ahead and write your (ahem, cough..cough... wonderful poetry!
