Dearest Vim

I enjoyed our chat yesterday immensely - our encounters (whether IRL, here on TT or over the phone) always fills me with energy - THANK YOU!

Looking forward to next week Wednesday!

Gwen!
Thank you for your kind words! I too am really looking forward to our meeting on Wednesday. I will send Stephen to do a food shop in the meantime (I suppose) or to sleep in the car so that we have time for a "proper" conversation, long, intense and concentrated!
Will call you on the day to confirm!
Cheers,
Vim

Dearest Claire!
You are so refreshing - your wording genius! I love how you "get" my meaning and have a knack of rephrasing me so that it makes sense to me!

I am feeling a whole lot "better" knowing that the euphoria is evaporating and am grateful for small treats - surprisingly generously given still! I feel in a comfortable place and am no longer "panicking" over the disappearance of the "high". Actually, it is even tiring being "on top" the whole time! The whirlwind can now gracefully subside and I can be allowed moral digestive time again! (sounds like I could do with going on a 4 day retreat!). I will "retreat" into my home instead, to recharge batteries...

Claire, have you noticed in my signature Brennan's motto? Found it on Brennan's homepage!

Thank you Claire for your continued support - most meaningful and greatly appreciated! Hope things are sailing smoothly for you and that the waters a somewhat calmer for you.

Cheers!
Vim
