Actually, you were correct, it is "enow". I keep copies of
quotes and verses in my day timer to reread whenever the
"turkey's" are about to get me down. I must have copied it
during a late night poetry reading in a poorly lit room.
When I checked it in the actual book, low and behold it was
"enow". As I mentioned, I am not perfect, just "trying". :)
