I'm definately not going in thinking that I'm immune to manipulation, but I will be on guard, hopefully not to the point of projecting an air of defiance. I know from experience that that will only alienate me, which would make it a little difficult to carry a message of recovery. Thank You for your comment.
Wow, that is so cool that you have xmas lights up already! I'm doing okay. Today is my bday! I'm taking time to be grateful for things. I'm glad to hear you are feeling good.
