Thank you so much for this.

I've been, in fact, smack in the middle of the 'race' to a particular goal, so much so that I'm only finding time to read and reply to a few comments at a time.

I needed time to think about this in particular, because there are four major ongoing goals in my life, three are either mine or directly relate to mine, and the fourth is my best friend's, which I want to help her achieve.

The surface confidence and paddle-like-mad beneath it is, yeah... nailed it.

I think I want to keep the cat. *G*

Thank you again.
