Dear M. Dawn, Good for you! Do I detect a sea change here? A burst of energy, a positive forward outlook and an elevated mood? Heads up, everyone. M. Dawn just caught lightning in a bottle. You are witnessing a powerful instance of how a person can come out of a depression. Possible catalysts: ...fed up...dug deep...asked for help...drew on resources from people who gave a real hoot...developed a plan of action based possibly on fresh input...inspired it with your reconnected intuition...did it with savvy (that's s a v v y)...went with the energy and developed further actions which build on themselves.
