And that's what will get the ball rolling . . . <BR/><BR/>It's so hard to go back and forth in you mind, trying to decide if you should do something, what you should do and when you should do it and before you know it, the opportunity is lost. I've been there, a number of times.<BR/><BR/>It gets easier, and the decisions come easily with practice!carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038972194323564240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31942236.post-5303390771329591272007-09-04T21:08:00.000-07:002007-09-04T21:08:00.000-07:00i plan to be carrying Jess' bags as she goes.serio...i plan to be carrying Jess' bags as she goes.<BR/><BR/>seriously, you are noticing. you are helping. it matters. and yes, it's sad.Girlplustwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056576921114387218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31942236.post-76580958277267394452007-09-04T19:26:00.000-07:002007-09-04T19:26:00.000-07:00In many cultures elders are respected for their wi...In many cultures elders are respected for their wisdom in longevity.
