...or are there other folks out there who have dogs who roll in the leaves and mud and hop up on the bed and lay all over it and then you have to climb under the next layer of covers to get out of the leaves and your kids eat all your food and don't work and you love them anyway and you believe in miracles and love and hope and faith and truth and honesty and you work your ass off and never get anywhere but you enjoy the journey and say what you think and feel and it all comes out real honest and sincere like and ugly and beautiful and then you keep moving because that's what believers do even when it all seems hopeless.

Props to Jennifer for the inspiration to run on..
