I've missed reading your blogs and I'm glad I came on tonight to catch up.<BR/><BR/>I could almost smell the lilacs from home myself as I read your words. They ignited one of those deep recesses of the brain that carry the childhood memories of yesteryear.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your gift.<BR/><BR/>Love<BR/><BR/>MMark Lyonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915827981541131957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-58242313135540234322008-05-27T00:37:00.000-07:002008-05-27T00:37:00.000-07:00Beautiful.

It's real. It's got sweat, fragrance, heat, cool, kitties (always a plus in my book), conflict, anticipation, sorrow, and hope. I wouldn't change a word.

I haven't heard that song since I was in college and the lyrics really threw me:<BR/><BR/>"there should be laughter after pain, there should be sunshine after rain.<BR/>These things have always been the same. <BR/>So why worry now?"<BR/><BR/>You're right.
