33. I'm so sorry about what you're going through, LuckyCharms.

Maybe your post just reminded me about what a blessing this place can be. How it can help us here to feel - uh - maybe liberated enough to imagine our way through complications that might have otherwise left us in a proverbial ditch. Hey, why not? Seriously. What can keep us stalled, or thinking we’re out of ideas, or maybe reluctant to try something really weird or different? Why should we try to hamstring ourselves?

There are times when I find myself imagining maybe we just throw the old rule book or conventional assumptions away. Perhaps THIS is one of those times?

Damned if I know. But we ARE blessed to have all kinds of thinkers here. And you just never know…

Okay, here’s a teeny-weenie bit of silly for ya: I accidentally typed your screen name wrong (LyckyCharms) and was pleasantly surprised that when the ol’ machine here actually found the right spelling, right away. Well, how ‘bout that! One more teensy little victory - microscopic, to be accurate! But heck, it DOES qualify as a victory. Why couldn’t there be others?
