Make it a habit to talk about blessings more than burdens. Where focus goes, energy flows.
True beauty isn't in the eyes that can see, but in the heart that can feel.

Good night. Sweet dreams. :)
The following is a photo that was kindly shared with me by my cousin, Vince. The two ladies in the photo are my Aunt Eileen (in the polka dot dress) and my Aunt Audrey. They are my mother's two younger sisters, Audrey being the youngest. Aunt Audrey was my cousin Vince's mother. The young boy in the photo is my cousin Ian, Aunt Eileen's son.

Linda I like "Have you been left home alone for more than 10 minutes? You have rights. Call the pawfirm of bacon, treat and goodboy. (888)-NOT-ALONE." And amen to "Life is short. Drop the negativity. Ignore the nonsense and hold tight to the people who actually care!" Take care and be well.
