Dear Dina:

I was so glad the moment I saw that you posted and when I read the first sentence I had a couple of tears in my eyes (still feel my eyes moist) and a feeling of relief as well as a smile on my face. I am so glad to receive your post. I was afraid you may not come back to the forum!

As far as your early post on this thread, the one addressed to Adam, the one I had no business commenting on, but now that I have and that you wrote about it above, clarifying a point or two may be helpful: that comment was excellent and if you look back at the thread you will see that not only Adam found it very helpful (and he wanted more and more input from you following that comment), but I too found it very helpful and commenting how it increased my perspective, made me think of possibilities beyond what I was thinking. So I think it was excellent. When I commented on it that last unfortunate time, it was with the additional information I got from Adam way after your first comment. So I had more information! I like your comments, they are very valuable.

I have been so active on this forum though, I often do not read others’ comments. What I normally do is read only the posts by the original poster. In this thread, I read your comment because the original poster, Adam, wrote how much he valued it. So I read it.

You wrote above that as a flawed human being you can be sensitive at times. Sensitivity is not a flaw though… and your assertion that my analysis of your comment was inappropriate was spot on and much appreciated. It made me understand more and make a strong mental note to myself. It may also be helpful for Adam because the exchange between you and me show how mistakes are made and learned from rather than ignored and repeated.

And again, you are very kind to me. I appreciate you very much. Please do comment here again and start your own threads if you would like. I would be very interesting in reading such. I appreciate your response and accepting my apology so very much!!!
