Scott,

You have so deeply touched my soul with your serenity, grattitude and sobriety. So few of us these days are willing to do what you do on a daily basis......share our expereince and hope. I feel indedbted to you in so many ways. Several days have come when I felt nothing, only to turn the putor on and read your daily mails and experience feelings that I havn't allowed myself to feel for ages. Thank you again for all you give me each day!

Big Hugs,
Wendy
