Love,

You're always keeping me on my toes.  I can almost touch the ceiling,
now!  :)

I personally like Paul McCartney's "Yesterday"...

"Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay.
Oh, I believe in yesterday."

Yes, it's true...yesterday was so easy.  Today is such a challenge.  If
only I could be a young girl again.  (27 is NOT a young girl, so don't
even say it!)

Anyway, how old is the world?  Take that times....say.... a billion.
Then, relatively the world did just start yesterday in comparison to
that number!  We don't know how long the world will be in existance.
