Hi all, Glendon here. Sorry to hear about your change of heart Barbara. I raise a glass to you and everyone on this list for staying together. I appreciate your efforts, though I admit to not being a strident email chatterbox, my efforts of communication have been focused on my blog; www.bloodywishfulthinking.blogspot.com ; that reads as, bloody-wishful-thinking! It reflects my hopes and my feelings, as I go along my journey with TM. Please - take a look, become a member, leave a comment, I would be very obliged. Happy New Year to you all from a little Aussie-battler!
