I just plain admire you.<br /><br />With many thoughts - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904685628370887899.post-514105537234487242014-02-13T12:48:46.545-05:002014-02-13T12:48:46.545-05:00I agree with Dean that if someone doesn't like...I agree with Dean that if someone doesn't like my opinion, that person is welcome to muster a little courage and spill his/her guts in a blog; I might even read it. I love collecting other people's points of view.<br /><br />You'll get back to writing soon; it's coming back even now, isn't it? This post is organized and focussed, tying multiple concepts together, and it moves right along, keeping the reader reading. What more can a writer do? <br /><br />P.S.

I agree faithful should be my middle name.<br /><br />Rebecca- The internet is full of people who are contrary just to contrary. FYI the e-mailer was a stroke survivor also. He fanatically said nothing good came with his stroke and my weak attempts to justify the struggle was self-depreciating and in poor taste. (to paraphrase) Another just said nothing useful every came from blogging about stroke recovery. Another took offense to the taboo subjects of urination and defecation. The gist was how could I talk about such things!J.L.
