  1. Barb, I love every one of these! One that really struck me, though, was "V is for valuing the ordinary". That describes me! I love my "ordinary" life! Thanks for sharing your wisdom!

  2. What a surprise, Barb...A poem! (ha) I especially liked the line, "Allowing others to share in our lives." Most of us need to let more people "in."
