Hi, @carpet.duck ---> First of all, thank you for all this -- and especially for the STEEM ... which did make it through, I see. Bless you for your persistence. I'm sorry for being so long in getting back to you. I did see your comment here early on -- and it gave me a lot of reason to pause and think, about my own direction and future. I have mixed feelings about so many things, including my continuing involvement on Steemit. Your bright message of encouragement came at such an ironic moment. Srsly.

I think this morning (It's 8 AM where I am) I'm in a good enough spot emotionally that I can answer your comment -- and give some of the focus you're asking about. If I don't dive into the mess of this place right away, you should have something in a couple of hours.

Thank you for your interest -- and especially for your patience. I did go looking for you a couple of times over the past months, but as you said, you yourself seemed to have left ... possibly for reasons that are all too easy to understand. See you again here in a bit. I hope you're around enough to at least get this message. I'm not always so churlish as to leave people hanging like this. Getting through this time myself hasn't been easy.

Stay tuned.
