  1. Thank you for sharing!!.. tried the gut instinct off and on but I usually follow my heart, rarely go wrong… 🙂

    Hope all is well in your part of the universe and until we meet again..
    May flowers always line your path
    and sunshine light your way,
    May songbirds serenade your

    in a sky that’s always blue,
    And may happiness fill your heart
    each day your whole life through.
    (Irish Saying)
