The last post was from me to PHJim as this is.

"Mauvepink, I have just reread this thread and find myself admiring your comfort with yourself and your life decisions. "

...as I admire all who are comfy in themselves and around others who are different (which is essentially everyone, because everyone is different). It's not so odd what I am. It's not a curse. It's all a part of nature as we all are. It is those around us who give us our comfort zones :)
