I though this was really creative. You took an iconic thing like the Achilles heel and turned it around into something completely different. A lover not a fighter... love how you expressed yourself in this one! Also I appreciate you checking me out earlier :)

Good morning Sweet sis...look at me! I snuck on to the soup so early in the morn. Glad I got a nice loving hi from you. I still remember this lovely gem... love how easy it is to fall with one click on the heel. Love the Greek story, on Achilles. ..love love...pd
