  1. I’m tempted to say all of the above, but most needed would be
    to know it’ll all work out
    a longer view of life.
    peace.
    hope

  2. Nino’s Mum: consider Nino’s Dad as poked into action, a la facebook

    Era: only the third point is really achievable in that list

    M:what? you don’t URGENTLY need a nap? am bringing my kids over for a play date then …

  3. In love: laughter? you have that in you, already. am sure. and patience too.
    longer view of life — been reading you for six months or more, and i think you have it.
    so only the last point for you, my friend.

    Preeti: so you join the ranks of being a long term worrier? you are in good company — M and In love, got there before you.

  4. MiM,
    no, my kids are older – so no need of a nap for me..we have reasonably regular nights nowadays 🙂 Sure, come on over!

  5. balance will do for me too! That’s one thing I can’t seem to get right! Haven’t done anything not involving kids in 2.5 years!

  6. M: that explains the ‘come on over’, you dont suffer from lack of sleep

    sole: havent done anything in 3.10 years, either!
    gawsh!
