thank you for the encouraging words. We will all have hard times and need perspective in them. Hard times are like training runs, they hurt and tear down at the time, but build endurance for the long run.
running with you,

If hard times did not come, we'd not know the value of the good times either. Matter of fact, I still don't..just take them for granted when they are and weep for them when they pass, but never, ever, do I live in them the way I dwell in the hard times. Wonder why this is. I don't pray for good times any more..what I pray for is for steadyness and calm and the stoicism to enjoy both times with equanimity: which, in MY case, will mean I'll enjoy the good times more. One last thought on this subject...at least you're writing now :-)). Smile my friend, you forgot to mention your BEST feature: your 300 watt smile that comes from the heart, through the light of your shining eyes and warms everyone it falls on. Looking forward oh sooooo eagerly to the 25th. Love,Madhu
