And let me share it.
First, a very large thank you for the support when I was having a rough go of it last week. Since the miscarriage, the emotional aspect of my PMS has been much more strident. I feel almost like I did when I was on Clomid. Lord knows what will happen if I go back on it! To know such bright, sensitive women "got my back" is enormously comforting.
Secondly, a particularly thank you to the wonderfully caring and very talented Graymama. I was having a frustrating time when the mail arrived and, what's this?, a package? I don't have anything on order... what *is* it?? It was a box full of terrificness (it is too a word, sort of) -- everything from chocolate soap and lipbalm to amazing hand-knitted dishcloths (and I'm sorry, Graymama, they are waaaay too pretty to wash the dishes with!!) to a book on pregnancy after loss to DVDs for Katie to ... the list goes on and on. I should have taken pictures but I didn't (sorry!!). Everything was so delightfully wrapped in gaily colored fabric. It was a pick-me-up I desperately needed and all the more effective for being unexpected. It was a joy from start to finish.
You said it was part of a pay-it-forward project, Graymama; you've got a lot of good karma coming your way from this, that's for sure.
I am so grateful for everyone who stops by here and posts and worries if I haven't posted and comforts and cajoles and sometimes gives me a kick in the ass. You guys are the greatest.

Terrificness is a word. So is wonderbul, as my little friend Aaron says, which describes Graymama's thoughtfulness. What a nice thing, to send that package of lift-you-ups. (lifteruppers, there's another good word)...I am glad to see you posting.

Terificness is indeed a word! The fact that Graymama started this thread has prompted me to send out more mystery packets than I ever dreamed of... I know that you have the best support net out there!
