I know I'm new here, but I must thank all of you for being so warm and welcoming.

I appreciate it.

I also must admit that there are things I'd like to write, but after looking around and reading, I do censor myself.

I don't live in a war zone. I don't have to worry, to date, about food. I am not under a rule that restricts me in ways like a lot of others.

And, amazingly, still....people with far more things to be concerned about....have been kind and welcoming.

It's humbling.
