The two most therapeutic things in my life are the animals in my care (raptors and dogs), and the gifts you all offer here on a daily basis. For all my verbal diahrrea, I am painfully shy and only in rare cases do I connect well with people on a one to one basis. But in here I can share with so many comfortably, I see your family being raised up, I hear of your lost jobs and loves, your wrecked pickups and smashed thumbs, shared recipes for comfort food, and spats over stuff that likely doesn't matter.
In a world caught up in the philosophy of "my give-a-damn is broken", ours works just fine in here. So along with the many talents spoken of so far, let me add that you have the talent of helping me see it through another day. Thank you, everyone.
