Okay, this is really the last post for a while...just wanted to clear a few things up.
Thank you for the kind words, Guru Daddy...they are appreciated. No, I'm not just going for the weekend, but neither do I know when I'll be back. It has absolutely nothing to do with feeling unappreciated or misunderstood. On the contrary, I feel as recognized, appreciated, and loved(?) as anybody on this board. I don't mean to sound conceited, only blessed.
You have all been more than kind and quite supportive of my ocassionally thoughtful, often whimsical, and constantly attention-seeking online persona...which I guess isn't any different than who I really am.
Sometimes in our lives we just realize the path we are on takes us into a forest that is not meant for us, at least not right now. Sometimes we need to stop, to step outside of the path, to recognize and reaffirm what exactly is important to us. Sometimes that part of us can wither and die if neglected for long. Sometimes the choices therein are hard. Sometimes I say 'sometimes' too much.
Thank you my friends. It has been a pleasure to walk with all of you on that path. I'm going to sit here for while and just think and live and be. I'm sure I'll catch up with you again, so be good to each other...be sarcastic to each other...be accepting of each other...I have to go now before I start to cry.
peace be with you,
--Mr. Sticky
