Somehow, I am not surprised you know the story. It is one of my favorites. I bow in thanks for the Butterscotch comparison (hmmm, reminds me of Patch).
There are no guarantees in anything in life. Today is the only day that is promised to me and even then I have to make it the best day I can.
I will heed your advice and just be (while I watch my feet).
el,
Thanks.
Upside,
I'm picturing you in a demented pirate outfit with pom poms. I'm a little concerned about my sanity here..... all roots are gratefully accepted.
