To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
William Blake

Is all this leading up to tomorrow? If the last 2 days are an indication of what is to come on your anniversary we'll have to get the children to show us how to use the parental controls on this site.
Oh wait, today is tomorrow. Happy Anniversary Stephanie and Kurt.
Ok, now you are working with Karen to confuse me. Today is YOUR anniversary; tomorrow is mine (New Year's Eve) and Gretchen's was the 16th of Dec. Right?
Happy Anniversary to you guys. Isn't this 27?
The Blake was just something I came across and enjoyed the feeling of. It was actually part of a much larger set of epigrams that were found in one of his notebooks. It wasn't actually part of any poem. But they were joined together into something titled Auguries of Innocence. Another great couplet from it is -
A truth that's told with bad intent
Beat all the Lies you can invent
Seems this fella had a way with words...
ohmyword, i love the "A truth that's told with bad intent
Beat all the Lies you can invent"
that is perfectly stated.
