You ladies are kind, generous, and wise. I'm proud to be among you. Thank you for sharing your experiences and encouraging words. There's a saying in Spanish, "Mejor sola que mal acompanada". It means better alone than with a bad partner. Sometimes my patients sit there with me, and some guy has really done them wrong. Occasionally I'll say that, mejor sola... and they smile, and nod, and know that I get it, too. It's good to be among those who understand.

You're right, Ladyfish. I built it (starting with that Schwinn from the alley), I rode my bike to heal my heart, and you all came! Always, when I move forward in faith, my heart opens more, and more joy comes in. L.
