This post is so fitting to so many of us right now. Thanks for putting it into words so well. Because of this post I might actually be able to explain to my husband why I act the way I do and why such little things can cause me to snap. You've given me a new perspective. Thanks for that.

I so feel like I am clinging to the vine which is hanging over the edge, and my dog is digging a hole around where the vine is attached to the cliff at the top. I get it.<br /><br />The view is great, but sometimes I wonder if I could just get the view sometimes, not every livelong day, for the rest of my livelong life, you know what I mean????Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137611120689810820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248101319829846491.post-39612252693513666962010-02-08T17:03:31.772-08:002010-02-08T17:03:31.772-08:00Only those who truly live dare go to the edge of t...Only those who truly live dare go to the edge of that cliff and have a glance at what's on the other side.
