*really big hugs back*

Thanks for the link. I admire and respect Powell and it was good to hear his reasoning for his choice.

The way he thoughtfully presented his reasons for his thoughts was amazing. Whether people agree with him or not, they cannot dismiss him.

That was beautiful and just really speaks to why I have so much respect for this man. I've always loved Powell and I will continue to do so.

He *gets* it.

It moved me to tears. I started crying when he talked about the Muslim soldier who gave his life for the country.

That part broke my heart as well. He brought it into stark perspective. We're all Americans and should not be disrepected because of our chosen faiths.

Droops and I enjoy sparing back and forth about politics. I told him we should have taken it on the road. We would have made a million dollars. :)

I was so happy to hear about this when I woke up this morning, thanks for the link. And so glad to hear from you and that you're doing well! Lots of hugs.

Thanks for the hugs. I am doing better. I quit the job at the end of September and have been taking it easy for the last couple of weeks. That helped a lot. :D

I'll bet! I really admire you for doing what you needed to do to take care of yourself.

It was either that or crash and burn, and we can't have that!
