One of my favorite old quotes, although Kanye West nearly ruined it for me. You have done a FINE job resurrecting it though! Thank you for your nice comments. I appreciate everyone who reads my poems btw. ~JS Lambert

After a very super weekend I am back at the soup reading. I enjoyed reading your poetry this morning Teresa. There are so many diverse writers here and I am so happy I am able to read most of them. Have a wonderful week and may you find what you are looking for in life and in your writing. The best to you in the contest. Love, Carol

There is a lot of truth in that old saying, Teresa, your grampy was a smart man. If you're feeling down today, go outside and look at nature's blessings. That always helps me. Sure hope you feel chipper again soon. Your comments mean a lot to me, dear. Love you, Carolyn
