teejay - Thanks for your comments - you are correct "Kindness begets kindness" isn't always true. But it is a reminder to me that to be treated kindly, I must first treat kindly. It doesn't always work - but then again, I am only responsible for my actions - not others. Let's just say I try to do what I think Christ would do. He was very mild-tempered and loving. I TRY (not always successfully!) to follow that lead!
I'm not quite sure I understand your question, so please help me out:
"I notice that you have been posting for less than a month. How long were you posting before then?" Are you asking if I posted at ALL before this or if I was posting under another moniker?
This is the first board I've ever posted on. I came across it quite by accident and lurked for a few days before posting. So until I met y'all I was a posting virgin. Heehee!
Tina - Thanks for the hugs! I appreciate the welcome. Although I am new, you can see I've posted quite a bit. A little addictively sometimes. I should be working and I get distracted by this board! I look forward to getting to know you and others a little better.
