I found this prayer and thought it was good!

Lord, you know better than I know myself that I am getting older and will someday be old. Keep me from the fatal habit of thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion. Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's affairs. Make me thoughtful but not moody, helpful but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom, it seems a pity not to use it all, but you know, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end. Keep my mind from the recital of endless details--help me to come to the point. Seal my lips on my aches and pains. They are increasing, and my love of rehearsing them is becoming sweeter. I dare not ask for improved memory, but for a growing humility and a lessening cocksureness when my memory seems to clash with the memories of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be mistaken. Keep me reasonably sweet. I do not want to be a saint--some of them are so hard to live with--but a sour old woman is one of the crowning works of the devil. Give me the ability to see good things in unexpected places, and the talents in unexpected people. And give me the grace to tell them so.

Viva México!

September 16 is Mexico Independence Day! There are many things that I love about Mexico - too many to list here.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JONI!!!

Happy Birthday Joni! I love you so so much and am so happy that you're my sister and for all the fun that we've had "growing up", but we're still young :). Thanks for spending your birthday with me, I had the most fun that I've had in a long time, and hope you did too. Happy 30th!! I think it only gets better! I love you.

Here we are

It's so much fun to be here and see the sights and India again after so long. It's hard to believe we're here. We went out today and ate some delicious masala dosa and walked around town. It's hot here.

Day 4

Thank the Lord we've made it so far and not only made it, but the Lord has been so good to us. We're spoiled. TYJ. One more day before our long flight(s) to India. We love you and miss you.
Oh, yes, we got our visas!! The Lord never fails.
