It's a necessity. We must do it in order to maintain what precious little sanity we have left.<BR/><BR/>(You called me crazy first, remember? *g*)<BR/><BR/>I agree with Teri. You already sparkle, and I know that contract is just around the corner.

The only reason that presents itself is that my writing stinks. But that ain't constructive, is it? I agree with you 100 percent about perserverance. It's so easy to give up and dang it, I'm not the type of person to do anything the easy way. So onward. <BR/><BR/>Keep that head up and can't wait to see you guys in Atlanta!<BR/><BR/>SHCShannon Canardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15610663482233355618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12073039.post-1128612731460812682005-10-06T10:32:00.000-05:002005-10-06T10:32:00.000-05:00You'll pub girlfriend.
