We can live in the moment when that is best, but we can still remember what happened ten minutes ago or a year ago. We can take all of our experiences and make choices.

Your posts are all lessons in grace and intelligence. Thank you so much for this wonderful addition.
Blessings,

Gee, Carol, I wish you and I had talked before I wrote this blog...what you wrote in your first paragraph had been in my minds I wrote. However, for some reason I just could not put it into words. YOUR words are a wonderful supplement to mine. Thank you so very much for your insight!!!

But one must expect life to be difficult, from time to time, so that we can truly appreciate the good times!
God bless you, Carol!!!
