Hello to all my fellow tribsters. When I first found this site I spent a good deal of time here. I was reeling from a huge loss in my life and felt that I was all alone. For me finding the tribe was a blessing. I no longer felt alone and realized I wasn\'t the only one out there. I began to make friends and I enjoyed meeting people on line. Every day I looked forward to chatting and sending notes to y new friends. I actualy got to meet Midwestboi and his partner who to this day remain very close to my heart. They are wonderful guys.

But then summer arived and I pulled away from the site. As the weather began to improve I spent less time at my computer and more time outside. The summer was wonderful. I met people, went places and learned new things. I baught a new home in Maine. Florida did not pan out like I thought it would. I met a man and fell in love again. After the death of my partner Chris I didn\'t think I would fall in love again. This new man and I enjoyed our time together. However, as it would turn out, he was offered a job in Florida and moved. We talk every day and we hope that one day I will be able to join him (here we go again. Florida is back on the table). Durring the course of the Winter I hurt my back while clearing snow (now you know why Florida looks so good to me). I ended up having back surgery a few weeks ago and since then I have been out of work and home bound. I still have a few more weeks of recovery and then rehab before I will be back on my feet. It has been a long road filled will interesting events.

From time to time I would pop in to check out my page and see that new comments were posted by my friends. Thank you to all of you for your postings. It is nice to see that even though I have spent little time here recently, you all have taken the time to stop by and say hello. So what I guess I am trying to say is that while I have not been here, I have not forgotten all of you. Thanks again, be at peace and see you soon.
