Sundays are a slow day on the blog and I have a feeling folks may be tiring of this exercise of turning the thankless parts of our lives into points of thankfulness. But I'm going to go ahead with it anyway.

--------------------------

Thank you for helping me to realize that I don't need hair to be

yes, to love those who position themselves as enemies.

May your will be done...

Kathy
