While we all struggle together and try to overcome these times of sadness from the Covid-19 virus. Let us pray for each other for our safety and hope we get all start living our lives in the world of normalitiy as we knew it.

Blessings, all my PS brothers and sisters. Sending love and prayers.

Starring through my kitchen window... An eerie blanket of grey skies chills my bones A background of barren trees sway gently 'Neath the newly yellowed forsythia bush a soft voice speaks to me "Tweet, tweet" it spoke Though I don't know this language, I understood it completely It translated into words of happiness, freedom, life A thing of beauty indeed Carefully I opened my sliding screen door and quietly sat on my backyard concrete steps Fear never took to the robin redbreast as she hopped towards me...tweeting This was probably my most enjoyable time I've had in the past few weeks Just sitting and starring at her... Her life was still as normal as it's ever been Tweet, tweet...my little friend

Hello Charles … perhaps the world will never be the same again for humans as we knew it. There have been dynasties before us that have disintegrated and maybe this is another one. However. on a cheerful note. A tiny bird has the power to lift us when it's needed - thank you Charles - Lindsay
