Thanks Luna! Was aware of the dirty island, but it's so beautiful there though. I've been reading some of your posts here tonight with so much interest. You are truly a blessing on this site.

Shaw Island it is with 180 people. Think I am allowed to mention that here. Sucia, you know, means dirty in Spanish...though I think with the island, it refers to the "dirty" windy weather that prevails there along the reef.

That is very cool Luna, nice meeting you too. All I can think of is Sucia Island in the San Juans which I named my cat after because of it's beauty, but that's a state marine park. :p You lucky duck you, living on a small island. I'll have to check my marine charts again. PS I like your stats too! Let's keep on kick ash.

Louise - I am so happy to meet you and know you are the one who first posted this. And look at your stats! Four years - hurrah! And I was pleased to find out you are my neighbor! I live on a tiny island in the San Juans not far from Victoria. Not very many of us here in the Northwest (Southwest for you) quitting. That's cause I think the folks here in this area are already so health conscious. Part of why I was in the closet. Oh well, that is history. Nice to meet you!

This was posted by me when I was a regular on this site and very early in my quit. It was given to me by my doctor. I'm so glad to see it bumped up again because it is a real keeper. Thanks for bringing it up. It reminded me of how very true this is.

Luna Thanks Straight forward, honest and for me so so very true. I have the search lights on, hopefully the dark corners are very small and very illuminated.
