Hey, Ron:

Not too sure how many tongues you have inserted in cheeks, or where the tonguing stops, but very straightforwardly, I went through what was diagnosed as a "depressive reaction" many years ago and voluntarily hospitalized myself for 14 days in a psychiatric ward. It was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I knew I had to get off the marry go 'round because it was going close to 90 miles an hour. Getting off helped me to see myself clearly. That's where the root of the problem usually lies. It's soooo easy to see where others are causing your life (mine) to be miserable, but much harder to see yourself.

As the Beatles sang, "I'm looking through you." I spent much of my life to that point looking through myself. You can't change what you can't see.

Keep on keeping on, Ron.

And watch those tongues... :-)

Jerry
