MATT where the SAM HILL have you been?!!!!?!!!I know, Hesperis, I find it very easy to get discouraged, because I am just too damn hard on myself, not to mention impatient. I feel like I work hard and get little results - but maybe that's not really true. It is easy to get mired in the little stuff and not see the big picture.
So take a step back, look at the panoramic view, and trust that the Universe knows what it's doing. :-)
