This is the theme song of my life now. It has been very difficult for me to change my way of thinking....being innately a planner and a plotter. But all the curve balls and stray paths that life throws at you force you to take the attitude of "one day at a time." I don't know if there is a grand plan for us or things just happen randomly, but what I have learned now is to try with all my might to make lemonade out of lemons and try to appreciate what I do have instead of what I don't. With that being said...I am in complete agreement with others...the Jeep is a must. I think it should be red. I can just see you and Cindy driving down the highway on the way to New Mexico to see your grandbabies...oh yah...don't forget to pick up a few six packs along the way so you will be well prepared for the eventual game of "porch pong."DrSoosiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04445723747109775244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-61488321569894938202010-09-11T08:14:11.163-07:002010-09-11T08:14:11.163-07:00Oh, Jimmy...what a grrrrrrreat post!Both funny and...Oh, Jimmy...what a grrrrrrreat post!<br><br>Both funny and insightful!<br><br>Your words here are such a validation for me that what I initially sometimes see as down the road for my life is not always how it goes.
