A positive anything is better than a negative nothing

I want to apologize for my hiatus. Although it has not been THAT long, it has felt like an eternity to me; but things seem to be picking up around here, and I am hoping and hopeful that they will continue to look up. So I promise some more substantial posts in the days to come, but I just wanted you all to know that I'm still here, still alive, still standing. Thank you sooo much for all your kind words of support!
