Now ain't this the pen felt truth, MM. So deliciously sweet is your wit. I sing the arthritis blues mostly all year round, so I feel you on this cool poem. Great work sent to us in a spiritual brief! Love and joy always.

I admire your positive attitude, Maureen! Giving in to aches and pains of the body (and of the heart) will only make things worse. Regards // paul

Oh what's that line from the Princess Bride? "Life is pain Princess, anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something" Physical pain is annoying and exhausting, but mental emotional pain still has it beat. Keeping on lovely :) you too! xomo <3
