the above quote is from Jenny Sanford.  Some of you may remember her husband then Governor of South Carolina had a very public issue.  I have to say I admire her detachment, focus and clarity. 

If you are interested she will be on 20/20 on Friday with Barbara Walters.

There are some people who do recover from great insult and calamity with dignity.  I do not always have to feel like I have with the ex A.

Maresie.

Go Jenny! She has a lot of courage & strength--I did not see the interview but I saw bits & pieces.

I did have the pleasure of watching this last evening and felt grace flow from her as she answered from her heart all the difficult questions.

She's an inspiration and what a gal!!
