why I'm having trouble concentrating on my work today

No, it's not the snow. We're prepared for snow. I plowed a bit, shoveled a bit. We're fine.
No, it's not the Christmas presents. Not exactly. It's a present that arrived just a few hours after Christmas Day had ended.
To be perfectly honest, yesterday I was so busy being happy that I coudn't really hear the words of the Psalm that the choir sang at Mass. So afterward my wonderful wife Leila, who was singing in the choir, reminded me that we'd heard the same words before, on our wedding day:
May you live to see your children's children.

Just wanted to thank you for sharing, Mr. Lawler, and thought that I might share with you and your readers an audio meditation that I posted recently on my site - one that I think you and they might like. http://www.petersboat.net/3/post/2010/12/the-weakest-and-the-smallest.html My point: Far from it being true that bringing children into the world will make us unhappy, it is rather quite the opposite; only by bringing children into the world will we ever be happy again.
