Good God, Steve, do you realize how in that ocean of your kindness you are nonetheless formidable? I mean as a soul, as a spiritual hero. I think part of what makes you so in my eyes is that you don't seem to think of yourself that way. You just live your life day by day, hanging in there, doing what needs to be done, loving all and sundry. Yet with all this strength of character, you have got to be one of the most guileless people I know. I feel fortunate to know you here on FFL. Hope I haven't been too mushy. Share
PS I just read your answer about emotions. It was vintage Steve: uncomplicated and profound, kind. And thank you for the bit about Hans Seyle. I had forgotten his definition of stress. Now I'm looking forward even more to seeing Lincoln with my Mom. ________________________________ From: seventhray27 <steve.sun...@yahoo.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, December 15, 2012 8:04 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Which is worse,,,"really stupid" or "reeely stooopid" whether Emily was being sincere or making fun of me, I really don't care.
