  1. AMEN!!

    I really do like Helen Steiner Rice. My grandmother had several of her books and I read them often growing up to remind me of her when she was gone.

  2. Number 6 is the hard one for me. It is so hard not to worry about those things I can't control (probably because I can't control them!)

  16. I just wandered in off the streets, thought I would stop by and check your page out. I really like these 10 Personal Commandments. Yes, it is easy to worry about things we have no control over, because we do not have any control over them.

    I really like your page, very uplifting. Love the Tiger Lillies? GOD bless you greatly.
