True, have our major issues, but we also have our strengths. I agree totally about our perseverance. When I go out everyday and see the conditions people live in and they just keep going (and smiling) in spite of it all, I'm impressed. I will also add family - although this is sadly fading, we really love and appreciate the institution of family.Daddy's Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14679564351145843434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35537640.post-19362176811869539162007-02-08T18:52:49.766+00:002007-02-08T18:52:49.766+00:00lol.. great post....
