		<description><![CDATA[Through each trial in my life, I have grown.  At the age of 46, I am not the person that I started out as at 20.  I am wiser because of painful mistakes.  I am more forgiving and loving as I have realized my own imperfections and limitations. But as I face the trial before me, I find myself thinking, “Good grief, how much more do I need to grow? How good does a person need to get???”]]></description>
