Hi, Michael. Haven't connected for a long time. Our computer has been out and we've been out of town. This one is so true, especially nowadays when people don't take responsibility for their actions. Great write. Love, Daver

I like the meaning of this one. So often we forget what's most important to us and focus on inconsequential things like money! Peace Fathima
