Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know Lord, some days one awakens with a song in their heart, a smile on their lips and feel “in love” and it doesn’t even have to be Valentine’s Day or JUNE!

My personal health care crisis involves trying not to put myself in the position of requiring health care despite my husband's ideas. I have health insurance, but I hate to use it--especially for a case of chronic stupidity. Chronic stupidity is a malady that many people who work around cattle and horses suffer--especially during calving season. As I have grown older, I have grown more cautious. If we are driving on bad roads, I will dig my medical in...
