Just finished reading all the posts. So much good and oh so true information. I still have goosebumps from reading Minnie's. You are so right. This beast has caused me to not work for the past 10 mos, but I have spent so much time with family and friends. My grandchildren got to stay with me a few times over the holiday vacation, my son was in from Ohio for a week, I've made it to my nieces basketball games. Things I couldn't find time for before. Now I know I'll find that time. I was looking and waiting impatiently for the "normal" to be back. But the past isn't the norm anymore, it's the present.
