    Susan,

    Praying that things are getting better for you. Been waking up in the middle of the night and have found that is a good time to pray. Actually, it is the only way I can get back to sleep. I figure God is up all night anyway, so I can leave everything in His hands.

    :)

    I love sunflowers. I always think that I will grow some, but so far that has never happened. I did buy a fake sunflower arrangement today at Michael's. It's not the real thing, but it looks really cute.
