Over the last few days, angry and upset about the situation with Iraq, I've made some anti-American comments on the Cat which I now regret. True or not, I've allowed myself to get caught up in the negativity that this issue produces and I don't like it. Changes are on the way!

If my comments hurt anyone unnecessarily, please accept my apology here and now. I only wish the very best for America and Americans, and for everyone else involved in this conflict.

I found this little story on the net last night, and it really helped me set my priorities straight again. I found it comforting and healing, and most conducive to regaining a measure of 'inner peace'. Even after watching the latest awful news! I'm posting it here in the hopes that someone else might find it helpful in coping with the current situation.

Roses and Thistles.

Enjoy, and peaceful 'gardening' to all ...
