[acb-hsp] Sometimes ...

[J.Rayl]

<Lol>  As you saw, it was.  And, I probably sent it to just about everyone I 
know.  It also went up on my office wall.  <smiles>
I think this is something too many of us forget, fight against, and feel 
guilty about when happens.
And sometimes, it really is okay, necessary, to fall apart so we can come 
back together.
