It IS about balance and in that end, everyone wins.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04135190793124857820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21512526.post-35805474734411398302007-07-11T14:20:00.000-05:002007-07-11T14:20:00.000-05:00It was a good day yesterday.It was a good day yesterday.someone elsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12524255841655400982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21512526.post-92088141367519520722007-07-11T14:01:00.000-05:002007-07-11T14:01:00.000-05:00That is so very true.

Families are under attack today because everyone is so scattered and disjointed. Your post is a beautiful reminder to always make sure that family is the number 1 priority.Kasie @ ~The Art of Life~https://www.blogger.com/profile/00208759575130154708noreply@blogger.com
