i think this theme of peace has been a common theme of mine throughout each one of my blog entries, but i have been too antsy and rushed to notice it. i finally paid attention to it last evening inside the Grady's home. it is amazing to me how complete strangers nine months ago can become family so quickly and beautifully. not a day goes by that i don't appreciate all that everyone has done for me this year. and that is a good thing.
