It warms my heart to hear how your sitch is going. It forces me to rethink my cynicism regarding my R.
You mentioned that you had some tears while doing yard work this weekend? Strange I did too, I havent shed a tear for a few weeks then all of the sudden I had to sit down and mourn for awhile.
Maybe it was the Sun huh?
Before my Mom died a few years back, I hadnt cried for about ten years, now I get choked up every time I think of my kids!
