It's just raerob, the friendly ghost...bringing you "words of wisdom":

You cannot plough a field by
turning it over in your mind.

And, Dreamz...it isn't as though you and your sis are going to be "continents apart"...as Paula says, "You're only a phone call away." My sister and I are only about 70 miles (1 1/2 hours) apart; but, because of circumstances, I've only seen her once in the past 3 years. However, we talk almost every day.

Right now, I'm trying to put those same 70 miles between me and my oldest (heroin addicted) son...so, I'll be seeing much more of my sister at the expense of detaching from him. Life goes on...whether we like it or not.
