This is true. I have been a bit busy lately trying to get some stuff organized in my non-online, non-computer life . (Honest, I do have one. Really I do! Honest, I have a life, somewhere around here.) But I have been in contact with lots of people from the Senate office, including the good Senator. What you wrote is very, very true.

Everyone goes through some bad times. I think life tests us all to see how we handle hardships and so forth. I am very lucky to have friends, across a wide spectrum, whom I can count on for help and support. And I think I have these good friends both around my home and in places like DC. Of that, I am without doubt.

Bear with me a bit. Things are just hectic and I am still longing for spring. Well, who isn't? LOL!
