just a thought, by mark twain:
"The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up."
anyone needs to be cheered up? i'm here, just in case someone does : )

and remember..."A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely." (Pam Brown)
