Sue,

That list was great, made me remember appreciate some of simplier things in life.

While I am in no hurry to be a grandma, I must admit, I am jealous. Sweet, little baby to hug and kiss with the ability to give back to the parents when they fuss. Sounds like heaven.

I enjoyed reading your comments, and Dr. Phil has a good point, one must like oneself [not overly] so others, feeling the confidence we have, can like us, too -

After a stroke, not only does your self-esteem plummet, but your personal, self-worth, so it'll take lots of HARD WORK to feel whole again -

Happy Fourth of July

June :cheer:
