I don't know how this fared in the contest but I am FAVing it - this is absolutely genius and quote worthy, should be embroidered and/or cross stitched on pillows, material for framing, and definitely held in poetic reverence for all of posterity (I initially typed prosperity!). AWESOME and WOW Love ... CayCay
