OK... looks like we're up and running.  Very cool.  Thanks, Courtney, for getting this going and for helping me figure out how to post.  

Your blog was very thought-provoking.  I don't think I'll be nearly as deep.  But, one thing did strike me that I wanted to comment on.  Not feeling grown up is something I struggle with as well and it can be really frustrating.  (When will these zits disappear?)  But, to put it in perspective, I am reminded of my dear grandpa who, when he was in his 80's, commented that he still didn't feel "all grown up."  So, though we struggle with that now, when we're 80-something, assuming we're blessed enough to get there, we'll be the lucky ones if we don't feel grown up!  I hope we can be young at heart and adventurous even in our 80's.  Let's keep in shape, treat our bodies well, stay spiritually centered, and enjoy all the years ahead of us!  (But, I do have a special request, God..... please no more zits when I'm 80!)  

A little about me....  I, too, have a dog.  She is a bichon-poodle mix.  She's really sweet and very pretty (when she's clean and brushed out).  But, she's a bit whacky.  Right now she's afraid of the hardwood floors.  She's gone through this before and we can't figure out what causes it. She'll stay on the carpeted areas and cry, wanting to be with us but afraid to cross the scary hardwood floor.  Even if we drop food for her, she won't walk over and get it. Isn't she bizarre?  Any thoughts on that, anyone?  Any dog-therapists out there?  

Have a great day!
