If I devoted too much time mentally to the journey home, there would be none of the trip left.<br /><br />So I learned to do it.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09197909058431076608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426492.post-20960207137663080852011-09-30T08:59:57.920-04:002011-09-30T08:59:57.920-04:00This not worrying about things until you really ha...This not worrying about things until you really have to take a lot of mental discipline.
