Oh man, just when I think everything will be fine, and about to embark in a healing/healthy (and wildly interesting project) as part of ripping that band-aid quickly, I read your message and realize the pinball that is my stage of grief is still bouncing all over the place.
Thanks! Without realizing it (I'm fiercely independent and not one to ask for help, other than from doctors and very close family), I guess I really needed a friendly message (that's a serious dose of good medicine.) Of course, my old sponge goes all over the place like a herd of cats and puppies: why is it I can get a compassionate pat on the back from somebody I don't know at all (well, other than via a few exchanges in a fine discussion group), yet am not getting that at all in a work environment and fine enough folk I want to have dialogue with, but don't want to have any dialogue with me at all. I chalk it up to my naive view of people in a work setting. Not upset about it. Just don't quite understand it, so it takes up brain cycles: something that keeps tugging at my attention. Hence a deep dive into this fun project, a good TiddlyWiki use case built as I keep digging deeper into the intertwingled rabbit hole. *Thanks much, Tones.* And all of this aside, please keep blowing my mind with all of them really meaty posts/comments on wildly interesting topics. Everyone of them are like running into a polar plunge (totally immersed and fully engaged in it), and it is exciting every time.
