after reading harriene's blog http://harriene79.motime.com/  i remembered how nerve racking it can be when you are going through somethine tough or expecting something hard.  it can be really hard to see outside the situation or problem but there is often i time when we realize how much we can go through.  no matter how bad things can get we can handle it.  a really extreme version would be the guy that cut his arm off when it was trapped under a rock while he was hiking.  truly incredible, but human.  we can deal with a lot if we realize we will get through it..... so on another topic.....  i was listening to an interview with howard dean tonight.  he is a really bright guy.  it is a shame he wasn't nominated.
