Gotcha, Steve. Yeah, it's always there.

An interesting thing is....... When I'm having fun I don't think about it much. But when I'm not having fun I try to tune into it. When I'm having fun, I'm already tuned into it? So, IMO having fun is a result of being tuned in. :-)

Yes, I've gotten those giddy moments. It's like the clouds break away - all the stuff that's making me sad is seen as my own spoiled child not getting what she wants.
Hey, as long as we can get giddy and laugh - we're having fun?
