Hope springs eternal but there are a finite number of springs we get to enjoy, so it is a good season to check our life's road map and destination, and recalculate if necessary. Have we gone off the rails? Are we looking for a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Could it be we've overlooked things of true value like love, while settling for a basket of Peeps and jelly beans?
With the perspective of a grandmother, I look back on my many springs and many blogs with a sense of urgency in view of current events. The following blog was written in 2004 before my sons flew the nest. The nest has been empty a good while but a half-dozen grand-babies already are giving a big return on my husband's and my investments.
