Thank you John :) originally "...once penned" but when I went to post it "sent" appeared and well I can't resist a rhyme, and well, context too. Wonderful day to you! xomo

So true. My only discussion point is that people don’t dig deep, only reading its surface value. But I also love the things others see that I don’t. <3 Nice one, Maureen!

Completely right...especially if it wasn't edited too much...but that goes with things you say from the heart...even the breath you take...I'd better stop...It's almost everything...
