I generally find that I need to think things through more whe nthe word
*should* comes out.....where is this from? You, your ideas about what's
right and best?

For me, I hope my children grow into loving, kind interdependent persons.
The idea of 'self sufficiency' seems ..... 'off' base for me and mine.

keep my keyboard quiet and just try to read and catch up :-)
