I appreciate that tenacious_snail is in my life, and our friendship. We have supported one another and at times poked, embraced enthusiastically publicly and made drama, brought out edges in each other, highs and lows and lots of new experiences. Traveled together on three continents, looked after children and animals, plotted and planned and used power tools. I admire her powerful insight, her keen intellect, and ability to combine compassion with strong boundaries. And am happy that she's still here. :-)
