Dear All (and sundry) :-),
It's been three weeks since I last had this feeling in my belly...the feeling of excitement...the sparkle...I am in a good mood this morning. I am beginning to feel like myself again. Thank God.
Last night an old friend and I spoke for 45 or so minutes. We discovered that her story and mine were identical. We had been taken to hell by the goon and we had made it back. We are the ones that got away. The ones that were blessed to get out before the building burned down.
We acknowledged that bad things do happen to good people and even the best of us can be fooled/ tricked but as that line in the song says; 'fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me...'
We had some good laughs. We shrieked God's name in thanks for 'delivering' us and we agreed to meet regularly...literally be a loose 'support group' to each other in order to ensure that the 'fool me twice' scenario does not ever come to pass in both our lives.
Both our phones ran out of airtime by the time we were done...and we still wanted to share more...
Thank you Miss K for opening your heart, for not being afraid to remove the mask...thank you for reminding me that girl-power rocks, girl-power works...united we stand, divided we fall. Thinking about it all before I fell asleep, I chuckled at how you and I are like the proverbial wood that survived the fire, escaping with just a scent of smoke :-). Thank you, again, my friend.

- No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.
