Camilla... It's kinda funny that literally EVERYONE who's met me in person after first "meeting" me via an email correspondence is surprised that the real-life Barb is very different than the one they originally meet online. In "real time," you'd find I'm much more like the individual who wrote the message you commented upon. Of course, I still have a sense of whimsy and humor, however. it's more restrained - permitting the full scope of my mind and personality to be exhibited. Online I'm much more two-dimensional - either really silly or very serious (with the occasional wiseass remark thrown in). I'd hate to think that in REAL life I presented THAT limited in a view! I'm glad ya got a chance to see another facet of me.

It struck me that this same process of healing can take place also in dealing with a broken relationship which must be put behind one..."reframing"and reclaimingthe beautiful pieces, and then being able to let go of the painful ones. Thank you for a glimpse of another side of the "ducking/grinning Barb", and a beautiful metaphor!
