You know I'm just kidding, right?!!). Anyway, each year when the air get crisp in the mornings I long for my cabin in the north woods of Michigan!!!<br />AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11881713709227415243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132744604634914071.post-63264874058981665842009-09-26T06:07:51.985-07:002009-09-26T06:07:51.985-07:00Gee, Diva, I feel like I should have read the book...Gee, Diva, I feel like I should have read the book so I could appreciate fully the scope of what it hopes to teach! <br /><br />Nothing would be impossible for me to do if I was anything but bed-ridden and drugged beyond my capacity to think.

I always admire those who can sit there and meditate and clear their minds, because that's something I've never been able to do.
