Just a short note today.

Yesterday I did something out of the ordinary, I vented here on the blog site. The first draft was so raw and sharp that the automatic grammer checkers (is that a thing here?) suggested I clean it up for language and presentation before I could post it, or my posting priviledges would be curtailed here at WA. I dind't realize such a thing existed.

So, first, to all who read that post, and all who responded with considered support/feedback, I appreciate your time, and I appreciate you touching base.

Reading the comments as they came in eased my outlook ever so slightly higher throughout the day, making what was going to be an almost impossible day almost manageable. (Parish picnic, my wife is a serving soul, so she's totally -there- while I wrangle all the kids at said picnic). I am not a social person by nature, I turn to one or two people that I can connect with deeply, which is usually my entire social support network. Hence the unusual -reaching out-post I vented yesterday.

That leads me to the second point of the thank-you.

To Kyle and Carson (and the rest of the team here at WA), thank you for assembling a platform that brings together such amazing people who will offer up a virtual shoulder to a relative stranger in time of need.

People pulling together to support each other in this hyper competitive world is such a refreshing chang eof pace that I was overwhelmed at the genuine feeback when I reached out blindly in depsair.

Anyhow, I promised to keep this short, so, thank you all. Today promises to be just as grinding, but it is a Monday, so that's to be expected on some level.

Duke.
