But acceptance of the changes that cannot be reversed clears the way to appreciate what still is--like your mother's indomitable spirit and her humor--and new avenues and resources that may show themselves. It really sounds like you have a pretty good grasp of it all. <br /><br />May you enjoy the love as well as peace and new joys in 2007.<br /><br />Forgive me and delete one if this posts twice. The first time doesn't appear to have taken.sundaycyncehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07055477023384793539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27065066.post-33198607004660864662007-01-03T00:34:00.000-05:002007-01-03T00:34:00.000-05:00I hope this year is an easier one for you.
