So true Ann! My children rolled their eyes as I talked with a stranger while waiting in line. I told them a stranger is just a friend I haven't met. Congratulations. Hats off to you for reminding us of life's most valuable connections! Blessings my friend!

I like that ~ a stranger is a friend I haven't met. I talk to people in line, too. If we all did this, it would be noisy but we probably wouldn't be prone to go to war. Thanks, Sam.

Definitely ! We cannot do any harm to a close friend ! When there is no bitterness, there is always love. When there is only love and companionship, there is peace ! Beautiful monoku, Ann
