Wow ...

The "Conundrum" thread was just some miscellaneous rambling and erstwhile soulsearching.  Thanks to all for your great and thoughtful responses.  I particularly enjoyed, "Dude, get over yourself!" as a good jab is always a great way to refocus.

Nettie's comment about the post making her mad scared me until I realized it was directed at A thread and not THE thread.  (we all know it's a bad thing to piss her off!)

Sola's words were 'lov'ing and thoughtful and I'll take her up on her offer.

In all, this was a great and refreshing reminder for me that a deeper honesty can rarely be found elsewhere and the freedom that provides encourages deeper souls to find solice in a frank exchange knowing acceptance and criticism will follow, usually in equal parts.

If that doesn't keep you grounded, nothing will ...
