Need to take break from MB. There is a strong enough support group for those willing to learn and grow.
I post this so there are no worries. Don't be jumping to conclusions, I am fine.
Gotta work through some relative issues: In-laws, gotta wonder why that name is so close to out-laws. LOL!!!
To all who have been here with me and for me.... all the best. Please keep helping the ones who come here seeking help. You know what it has been like. The journey is the same, just the names and faces change.
Aloha,
L.

Will miss you Orchid. Specially at certain hours I know you are around... I count on that although I haven't needed to ask you for help, but I just know you're there.
Good luck. I hope you can soon re join us.

At least THINK about it, huh ? If you'd done this 14 months ago when I first pestered you, you might be in business by now.

I know you don't "know" me, but I wanted to say you will be missed. You said something on a thread...can't remember which one...that made a difference in me and my thinking. You said your MIND and HEART have to be insync. When that happens then we can make decisions that can really benefit us.
I have found that with myself and from reading others our MINDS are telling us one thing and our HEARTS are telling us another. They will one day be insync and this is when true healing begins.
Thank you for those words.

Orchid:
I will miss you. I haven't been coming here as often any more.
I want to thank you very much for your help and encouragement. Long ago when I first came and used a different user name(couldn't remember the password) you were one of the first ones to post to me. You told me to pray for a "clear mind and calm heart." You have no idea what you did for me during that time and the effect you had on my life. You enabled me to find a peace that I didn't think was possible during all the chaos and turmoil.
Thank you Orchid,
My prayers for you and your family.

Hello Orchid. As the others have said; your posts will be missed. How are you going to stop coming here and reading?I see you have been here since January of 2001. My oh my, it is SUCH AN ADDICITION and so easy to just connect to the Internet and check MB to see how things are going. I seldom post but read many of the threads. I started this thread on March 5. ADDICTIVENESS OF THIS MB DISCUSSION FORUM!!! My friend, 2Bnormal and I were both trying to come here less often. I find I am STILL coming here far too often. My husband said this morning that he was out of underwear in his drawer, so I guess that is a sign to stop this MB addiction also. (Like you have decided.) So, Orchid, will you share how you are going to keep from coming here? I really truly need help on this. My life does not need to be filled with all these dear people's heartaches. I often think of them as I am trying to go to sleep at night. (I am sure I am not the only one that does this.) Mary

L. Thank you so much for your support, humor and lessons in reverse babble. They say what goes around comes around...you have a whole lot of good coming your way. I will look forward to your return. I will miss you...I'm going to plan B this week. But I will think to myself "...what would orchid say." <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Take care!!!

Orchid- I've always been amazed at all the thoughtful, helpful advice you've given all of us. You always seem to jump in with advice when no one else wants to touch a subject. If you come back to read this thread, know that many of us who you barely know will miss your presence. I understand the need to get away, though. I just took 6 months off...but I really do benefit from hearing from everyone here.
