I echo Marling's thoughts about janet paterson's words--when I was counseling I couldn't have agreed more, or said it better! (Probably not so well ;-) ) Today I had lunch with friends at a Chinese restaurant, and my fortune cookie sounded like the conversation we had had about our husbands, one a stroke victim, one a PWP__"Attitudes are contagious--and yours are worth catching!" I would say that to you, janet---thanks for sharing your feelings.
