really? REALLY TYPE PAD? I wrote a very good post and you ATE IT? I said (and will say AGAIN) that your post was beautifully written and HOPEFUL. Floods, tsunamis, tornadoes, earthquakes - you can see why chicken littles are crying the world is ending. But really, its just being a bully. The world needs a big time out, in it's room, no dinner, think about what it's done and promise to be better tomorrow.

I need to accept that viewpoint too... Especially now when things seem dark and endless. Perhaps with a change of attitude I can manifest the days I want to have, the comfort of enough. It's a philosophy I've lived by my whole life. Now is when I need to remember that. Today will be, IS, a good day.

ok - so this venue is NOT as user friendly and it takes an effort to log in and view friend's blogs - but here I am! Patty, I for one LOVE brussels. I even planted some in my deck top garden!
