We have a very busy, interesting, challenging life. We're not perfect, but we're peaceful and productive. My kids are really neat people, and my husband is incredibly well-balanced, fun, and visionary. Perfect combination. Of course we have our weak spots and hard days, but generally it's just a daily rotation of balancing precariously and hanging on for the ride of our lives.
Chris in VA:
As per causing controversy, I like the following thought:
You have no enemies, you say?
Alas! my friend the boast is poor-
He who has mingled in the fray
Of duty, that brave endure,
Must have made foes! If you have none,
Small is the work that you have done;
You've hit no traitor on the hip;
You've dashed no cup from perjured lip;
You're never turned the wrong to right-
You've been a coward in the fight! Charles Mackay, 1814-1889
I'm so glad you enjoy the blog, Chris. Thanks for your kind words; I would love to be on your team, too, when we make our foes!
