I'd like to say, to everyone who responded to my diaries this week: Thank you!
To everyone who helped get those diaries in front of more eyesballs - those who tipped, rec'd, and commented to get them on the Rec list: Thank you!
To the Kossacks who offered their support, encouragement, sympathy and empathy: I love you guys. That meant more to me than you may realize. When I'm really feeling depressed and anxious, having a positive chorus to shut out that inner voice full of criticism is so important to have.
And of course, to everyone who helped financially, a huge THANK YOU. I'd like to point out that half of the donations were for $20 or less. In fact, $200 came as $5 or $10, and a number of those came from people that I know are struggling too which makes them especially precious.
I would like to thank all the members of the DKos Community Fundraising group for their support and encouragement and for allowing me to use this platform. A special shout-out to JekylInHyde and One Pissed Off Liberal for posting their own call to action and lending me their "stature" if you will to draw attention to my diaries.
So from me and my family to the entire DKos community let me say again: THANK YOU.
Next, it's up to me to move myself and my family forward, and start giving back.
