Herod visited here this year." Such powerful imagery, Tia. And I'm so sorry.<BR/>Sarahsarah besshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08657824655713557099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411253170651203836.post-75941529804029737042007-12-20T01:09:00.000+00:002007-12-20T01:09:00.000+00:00You know, there have been times that I have decide...You know, there have been times that I have decided to "brush off" the rest of the world and DO what I WANT to do.<BR/><BR/>There are times when we just have to do what is best for OURselves, because in the long run, that is what is best for our family. <BR/><BR/>Make a few phone calls, give vague excuses and move some of your appointments to other days. Cancel "Bob" and his crew - it's not like they'll get something finished today anyway! :-)<BR/><BR/>Make Goldie's birthday a day of celebrating who she was - a funny, independent, sometimes unknowingly irreverent, spontaneous, beautiful girl-child. She would be the first to tell you, "Do what you want to do, ma!"<BR/><BR/>Sometimes we just need somebody else to help us remember it's ok to be self-preserving.<BR/><BR/>Much love and hugs in celebration of Goldie,<BR/>Aleshaakconklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10246400656971508884noreply@blogger.com
