liuaki,

Thanks for your heartfelt advice. Yes, positive positive. Positive thinking is something that gurus of all colors and creeds have been preaching. I envy those who can be positive all the time. Seems like the more I "try" (forgive me, Alex for using that word), the more I eventually go back to the negatives. For awhile, the world looks peachy, but then REALITY wakes me up from the "positive trance."

Anyway, I suppose life is a life-long lesson that we're all going through. I hope one day I can be as positive as the people running this forum. You guys all seem to be other-worldly. More power to ya!
