It does feel like a team effort! Go team!

I hope it's not egotistical to say that I feel slightly responsible for hitting stones together enough times that we got a fire relight. Ladyofthelog is a dear friend and when she learned I was kinda getting upset from some of the comments directed towards my being positive, she wanted to share her thoughts so I wouldn't feel alone. Looks like we made it, kids!

How wonderful to also get local_max's essay just now too. There's an overabundance of food for thought.

I'm so glad your enthusiasm is back! I missed it!
