Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 I had a "situation" that seemed to have arisen in the group that concerned me--several of us were having a lot of private e-mails that were somewhat critical of at least one other, and not exactly conducive to group stuffr. I am grateful that you posted to me on line. I do not feel free to "get into it," as posts preceding mine pro bably explain it, but just felt as if a giant cheer from the peanut galllery was needed. I am sorry that I came across so kind of gloomy! (not typical of me; and I am not feeling gloomy). , I am honored to have you as a niece--what a gift! Love, and more, n ps - what you missed was not something that I felt free to address, nor was it my place, but the dynamic seemed appropriate. I do not mind private e-mails from people whom I know and have come to trust--which is most of those on this list. more love, Auntie n Re: I am concerned I also am puzzled but thought I may have missed something in all my trips in and out of the house. Whatever it is Auntie n, we all love you and don't want you to feel down or upset or doubt our loving "family". This is an outlet and gathering place for all of us and from each other we can garner strength, wisdom, encouragement, hope, love, and help. In our lives, is there anything else we can ask for from one another.
