...if I never realized this about myself (and I have), I am told on a regular basis. It’s a constant journey, but I always feel myself connected with SomeThing… even when I don’t feel connected in so many other ways.

and so this is finally coming into fruition. I’ve had a couple people in the past few months communicate to me directly that I have inspired them in various ways. I can’t even express how wonderful this makes me feel. I guess it could easily go to my head, as well, so I will have to keep a reign on that. But at the moment it just encourages me to continue my journey of improving myself and setting an example for others.
