Hi Cat,

WOW! With so many great posters on this board, I feel rather embarrassed to be singled out. That being said, thank you for your encouragement -- it really does mean a lot!

Actually, I have been feeling rather "down" lately. Not just the family health issues -- (which, thankfully, seem to be getting better) -- but life in general. Or maybe it's the way I have been dealing with "life in general" (e.g. attitude, perspective). Ever get to a point where you're just burned out, and the smallest, most trivial issue is enough to ruin your day? That's how I'm feeling at the moment. Don't get me wrong, I'm not seriously depressed or anything -- just a bit overwhelmed by life. [I'm sure everyone can relate at various times.]

Thanks for the prayers!

BTW, regarding posting on the board. I'm sure I will continue to post from time to time ... but when I do, it's probably going to be brief and uncontroversial :-) I don't see myself being up for any major debates for quite a while.

Thanks again for the very-timely encouragement!

Blessings,
Rainboy
