Thank you for reading and for your kind words.
Did you see what the spellcheck did to that name? Yikes. I just noticed it and fixed it. Hope you don't think my spelling is that bad!!
Darrke - Thanks for checking in. Hope things are looking up on the job scene for you.
A/W - Thank you. I love that particular quote. I may have to find this book for myself.

I love the work of Marcus Aurelius and I have MEDITATIONS as translated by Gregory Hays.It has helped me immensely luv.
"Nothin happens to anyone that he can't endure. The same thing happens to other people, and they weather it unharmed~out of sheer obliviousness or because they want to display "character". Is wisdom really so much weaker than ignorance and vanity?" I loved that.
Thanx for posting my friend.
