This business of really knowing people, deep down, including your own self, it is not something you can learn in school or from a book. It takes your whole being to do itโyour eyes and your ears, your brain and your heart. Maybe your heart most of all. โBobby Goodspeed
James HoweI hated that the soldier doll had my name. I mean, please. I didn't play with him much. He was another Christmas present from my clueless grandparents. One time when they were visiting, my grandpa asked me if G.I. Joe had been in any wars lately. I said, "No, but he and Ken got married last week." Every Christmas since then, my grandparents have sent me a check.

I can either spend all my time wishing it were perfect, trying to imagine it the way it was or might have been, or I can see how beautiful it is just like this.
