Wedding Bells

No ranting, whining or complaining from me today. My "little girl", the youngest of my five children, got engaged this morning and nothing else matters today. She's thrilled, and we're very happy for her and her fiance. We look forward to a wonderful May wedding. And, I'm deeply honored to note that I have been asked to officiate the ceremony. That adds a pinch of tension for the old father of the bride, but it takes nothing away from the joy.

There's an obvious lesson here - a burst of family joy can easily override a host of other concerns. But, as surely as the paparazzi follow Brad and Angelina, more ranting, whining and complaining will surely follow this good news.
