Thanks Patricia. =)  It's been tough at times, but nothing I hadn't been expecting. I'm sure it will get easier as time goes by. Hope you have a great week.

Welcome aboard! =)  Hope you're doing well today...

Welcome, Patricia! Glad you could join us. :D

Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also like Sober WithOut Gods, Atheists, Addictions, 12 Step Recovery, Geek & Nerd Haven, Are You Experienced?, Women Atheists, Female Atheists, and possibly Feminist Atheists.

I also recommend Eco-Logical and Climate Concerns, since the climate is changing so drastically.

After you've searched for topics of interest in "Groups" above and in the "Forums", don't forget to look at recent activity which hides along the right margin of the page all the way at the bottom.

Greetings! Welcome to the site!
