    @@donnanorris4733 I miss that noise, like a low hum of life and activity. I have five children and they kept our house quite lively. They are all grown now and out in the world. The house is more quite but the hum returns with them when they and their families come to visit and it is delightful.

    Jess, I love how you examine yourself and admit your faults and work to overcome them. I bet it's with a lot of prayer too! I wish I had begun such a habit when I was your age. I think it helps others to look at themselves with an eye to improving their character when you talk about your "bad habits" and what you intend to do about them.
