: ) This makes me smile...what a lovely place to be...after wading through many "rivers of doubt" about almost everything and arriving at a place where you are at peace with yourself is priceless... Of course you could be writing about something entirely different, Michael. Nevertheless, it is awesome...love it! Thanks for reading my Monoku and your comment. Will read more! Always, Annalise
