In my deepest, darkest moment, when I thought no one was there, she showed up. There are good people who will step forward.

This could have been a totally different ending. I'm happy. I'm able to smile.

If it wasn't for her, they would have been gone.

. . . I saw people willing to compromise themselves, or change themselves, to acquire what they thought was important. I don't judge what other people do, many choices that may be right for others are definitely not right for me.

I thought the Dalmatian was perfect.

I thought there might be more of a rise, but I'm not surprised (the Nikkei) ended lower. Domestic concerns are outweighing the external factors right now.
