You caught me with this post twice. Once with The Little Engine photo; again with my phone, the phone, back to party lines, "Will someone get the phone?" and operators. Thanks for mulling all this over and sharing it with us, Dawn. As you continue your process and as I mive further into mine on the same path, I can hear is both whispering, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can... (and she did!)

What a delightful insight that makes me smile in turning me back to The Little Engine That Could! I was not thinking in that light when I posted the photo so I will give our beautiful subconscious gifts credit for choosing it so you could get me to circle back to I think I can. Perfect!

I recently bought a copy of that classic to send on elsewhere. So I especially enjoyed seeing your photo. A deep bow to other-than-conscious connections and a sweet month ahead.

Yes! Yes! Yes! I am with you on this Dawn. You describe the compulsive attachment and its accompanying mental disturbance so well. I am also going through an amicable separation from THE phone. Although, the irony is that I have just read your post on it in the relative peace of my little London garden.
