Made me sad Andy yet it has some truth~! I lost energy reading this and my hope is a good tax return and that I don't slip on the ice here in the USA from the weather we are currently having.

I am thinking on the positive and hope your plethora of words speak more uplifting to our souls!
You are an amazing writer to make a person feel the soul!
