Delayed disclaimer

As I reflect on what I wrote late last night in the entry, "Brutal Honesty," I realize my words may be misconstrued.  Let me clarify -- I have the greatest friends in the world. They have picked me up when I needed it, slapped me when I needed it (even if only figuratively) and provided some fun and memorable times.  I do appreciate their honest (if brutally so) commentary on my life. I probably need more of it sometimes.  I know none of them would intentionally hurt me, so even if the comments I posted stung, I know that was not the purpose.  I hope I didn't offend any of my friends or sound ingrateful.  That couldn't be further from the truth.
