There aren't many genuises around & more often than not they were a right old pain in the whatsit, but to be kind & gracious, to be fully present at birth & death, these are the true substance of a life well lived. Besides, the good Lord loves ordinary people; it's why he made so many of them! ;PGaneidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176246964466185315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638850181807914586.post-40107183932481004852009-05-07T07:17:00.000-05:002009-05-07T07:17:00.000-05:00It took me years to become, so you have time.
