Lynda, you're a sweetheart.  *smile*  I don't know if I can grow up.  I'm in my forties, and I feel 22.  I think I stopped growing at 22.

Hugs!  Well, don't grow up. That is the secret to a live of joyous 
creativity - allow the inner child to thrive. YOU are an inspiration to 
everyone who knows you. We all keep each other encouraged and pressing on, 
don't we.


Lynda
