love

and now, josé?: Welcome reminder.: "Reading your BLOG: by trying to find 'a positive balance' through everything you have been through - while if it were me, I'd want it all explained as well - just know that:

1. You are loved - even 8,000 miles (?) away

2. You are alive and well (and relatively unscathed from the whole incident...

3. you have a loving family...

4. you don't live in New Orleans or the Gulf Coast

5. you are not in IRAQ (on either end of the war...)

6. and you have 40+ more years in front of you to make a difference (teaching from the past 40 years of your life) - what a gift!!!

Take care and get out there and start sharing with others the kind of love you shared with us here in NYC!!!"
