I all feel a bit better today the jab must be kicking in at last. i think i have sweated enough the last week or so to fill a bath tub. Hopefully this will subside as the days go on.

He continued "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, sere...2 Recommendations3 Comments -
A special friend of mine sent an email with the following and I liked it so well I thought I'd share it with you. I would have trouble following the rule about breakfast like a king and the supper like like a college kid with a maxed out credit card because I tend to do the exact opposite. I'll have to question my friend about it, because she's French and that is definitely...1 Recommendation4 Comments
