Thanks Carter. Something that is a little confusing for me is that I thought I'd joined awhile ago, but couldn't recently access PDN and also had an invite from Kate to join. Did I just join some part of the site last year or when I signed up to do the webinar? Also my picture shows up on my page when I add a comment etc. as I did just the other day. Enlighten me about it all. Thanks for the note and hope to see you again sometime. I met you at the week long retreat in Dec. warmly, Trisha

Thanks for the warm welcome. It means a great deal to me. This time of the year has a tendency to bring much suffering to the surface. I'll write more soon, and send some pics of the recent snow here in Boulder. Right now my best buddy (beagle named Ez) calls.

Ours is a very modest undertaking. Nobody at the meeting last week. There is a lot of traffic through the unit. We are generally viewed as an exotic item by the staff, though I've been treated well enough going in and coming out. The chaplain has been increasingly supportive.

Thanks, Carter! I did figure it out, after a while.

Hi Carter,

Thank you for helping me to designate a photo as my profile photo. I'm still having trouble figuring this out. When I click on My Page, there is not a yellow peace symbol apparent on the left column, nor an option reading "Change My Picture." All the options on the left column are here:
