Thank you John for your sweet message. I love this site because we can keep up, encourage and give advise to each other. Just reading everyone's comments has helped me greatly. I'll admit, I've had some down days too but am extremely grateful for all my teammates.
So glad you are feeling better and many hugs to you. 😊
