Re: [gallery] Component contribution volunteers

Hi, Shadi and All.

A couple of weeks ago I stepped down from EO.  Even though I'm retired, I
just have too much on my plate.  It's is super weird.  I don't get how I
can be so swamped.  Surely it would have nothing to do with being a
people-pleaser and trying to make all my friends happy and/or save the
world?

I was so sad to say au revoir -- but you will note it was au revoir and not
good-bye.  There is a difference.  :-)  Hope to see you all soon again!

Fond regards,
Anna Belle
