Post by Think First »

Just wanted to express my sincere appreciation to all on this board for the guidance going through the CHL process. Impossible to express my gratitude, but thank you all.

Congratulations!

Thank you all for the warm welcome. The knowledge, wisdom, shared experiences, and overall fellowship expressed on this forum are beyond value. I'm honored to be in such company, and hopefully, I will contribute when appropriate to my experience level. Right now, that experience level is carrying while taking the pup for long walks, while consuming the new 'responsibilites'. A very different mindset indeed!

Think First,

You are exhibiting a very admirable state of mind. Yeah, you got to take it all in, and learn along the way. It will only be a short matter of time before carrying is something you do without thinking about it, and not carrying causes a nagging concern in your mind.

You ought to hook up with TAM, it would have to be pretty interesting.
