This is a great thread, Artiste - thanks for starting it. I'll try to contribute sometimes.
My impressions today are of comfort and gratitude. I'm piled up on my futon with my laptop, the kitties are wandering in and out, my ankle is elevated with ice - no pain whatsoever, just a little swelling. I plan to spend all day catching up with BetterMost and emails and PMs and listening to BBM Radio and now talking with a BMost friend on the phone! Life does not get better than this.
And I'm grateful for my friends who understand me, cut me slack when I'm unreliable, and are always there for me, no questions asked when I need them. I aspire to be that kind of friend, myself.
