Great observation.
And sin...I love your lagniappe. Great observation.<br /><br />And since we're talking about acceptance... I once lived on the outskirts of that airport in Miami, directly under the flight path of all those jets. We learned to just "press pause" every couple of minutes on any conversation, and after a while, never really noticed the roar overhead. Yep, all about accepting the things you can't change.PattiKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894925987580502697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768410634619342671.post-38675168745189831422011-07-19T11:03:33.791-05:002011-07-19T11:03:33.791-05:00MAGPIE:
