Mara Wayne - I love your posts but gotta set the numbers straight- "Is the glass 81% empty, or 19% full" Please don't take it personally, I just needed to mention that so I could sleep good tonight.

Try this fit and see if we might be wearing it in the future: "In the day of prosperity be happy, But in the day of adversity consider- God has made the one as well as the other" ( Ecclesiates 7:14)
