Most people need to go through some sort of doleful stage to get to real (personal) success!
Mitchell.. you are amazing!

@Bobby, I know you can find those words in you!
@Kathryn, For some of us, it’s lemons, while for blessed few others, it’s pineapples! You’ve been a GREAT source of encouragement these past 2 and 1/2 years!
Ha-ha! Replying to both of you reminds me of an old sing-song:
“Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other’s gold!”
Cheers to you Both!
