I started this blog to provide public accountability for my quest to learn to live without complaining.  Along the way, I have shared triumphs and tragedies, sweetness and sorrow, lightness and longing.  I strive to find a center for myself, a balance point from which I can withstand life’s troubles and glory in life’s triumphs.

Though this morning’s air chilled me, I did see my friend and neighbor Elizabeth Unger-Carlisle out walking (in hot and gloves); and the gorgeous color of my porch-plants warmed  my heart as well.  I might have to cover them tonight but I’m not complaining.
