And as they say, "you can't unring a bell." And no matter how many good things are happening, it's always that one nasty thing that gets to you. I know you'll eventually get over this, but it will take time. Sending over hugs across the pond! :)Leslie:https://www.blogger.com/profile/11964698251137788839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993625127076778295.post-91222769909630973282011-01-05T21:47:10.803+00:002011-01-05T21:47:10.803+00:00You are so right about the importance of words.

Please know that I'm thinking of you and I just know it was unjustified. Take care and I hope that bout of housecleaning helps get rid of your anger and hurt.
