Wills and Kate!

What is it about the British Royalty that has

the world, including

Americans

So enthralled?

Last night I did my dreaded shopping trip

to Costco.

Before checking out I flipped through

People Magazine

and read the article about the

"official betrothal"

of

Prince William

and 

Kate Middleton.

Sigh.

Sigh.

I remembered back to when I heard

the news that

Princess Diana

had died in a car accident.

I cried for days.

 I was glued to the tv and newspapers.

And then watching her boys walk behind

her casket.

It was so sad.

So tonight, as I was thinking about this

new "royal" engagement,

my final thought was this -

We are all royalty.

For real.

What would the world be like if we remembered that

ALL the TIME?

Would we feel so much joy

at each marriage?

That was quite a thought.

I'm still thinking about that one.

And they lived Happily Ever After.....
(Even if it was crazy)

PS.

My last post wasn't about any ONE person.

It was as much about myself as anyone.

I wrote it after Kurt had come home from work

an hour late.

And I was upset - felt SO justified feeling that way.

But then, when I picked up my son

from  a friends house

also an hour late

And I could tell that she was upset,

I felt like a schmuk,

but there was a part of me that thought she

should understand that I did the best I could

and SHE shouldn't be upset.

But I COULD be upset?

Uh-huh.

No-one is perfect.

I suppose that if I had put the last post in gospel terms

it would have started like this:

All we, like sheep, have gone astray.....
