Nothing like a solid 5 hours of sleep to center you, right? I was thinking about my niece, Anna, when she was a little girl, and I said something like, don't you hate it when that happens? And, she replied, hate doesn't live in our house. We should all aspire to be like my precious niece. I am trying, I really am.  Happy Independence Day - On a purely selfish note, I am nothing if not independent.
