Amen, Kelly! I've had some of those same revelations in my life!
I think it hit me hard because it put a face on what we live daily. Elizabeth Edwards gives us the opportunity to see "us" in the daylight! And for others to see us too.
Kelly, best wishes on that "nasty ol' spot" that worries you! I'm hoping that it will reveal itself to be just a "little nothing"!
Here's hoping that you have a really great day today! In fact, I hope this can be a super great day for all of us!
Thanks so much for being real!!!
