I agree Miki, period!
Momma Dee: (sorry, after that last post I see you as the typical mother, very strong much like my own) Don't change, you're awesome the way you are! And the smiles challenge is a great one, I'm gonna steal that idea from you! It's a good challenge to try to smile at one person a day. Also proud to know you help others out like that. The thing that once debilitated us, now gives us the knowledge to strengthen others. Now THAT'S a turn-around of events...and kinda makes the events worth going through...
Gene: Thanks, man! Always great hearing I'm helping, I do question it sometimes...so everyone's affirmations make that stress worthwhile. And talk about progress, your turn-around on this series of events would make a hurricane dizzy! Glad I got to meet you. Rofl, not too long ago I would've sang that Placebo song like it was life itself.
I didn't know about the hadron collider until you mentioned it! I'm a geek myself, though an absent minded one at times. Aha, our world is gonna look like the transformers base station in about 100 years. Did you hear about how they are trying to recreate the big bang?
And about teaching depression in schools, do you guys think it would work? I've found that depression and anxiety is a lot like being religious, by that I mean you really don't understand until you have an experience. With that in mind, do you think school could teach it, or is that a lesson only life can give?
