It still does, though I'm sure I caught the drift of what it wanted to be. And so, I'm awake at 7 am in a very snowy Philly without having slept at all! I'll be taking a nap mid-morning, I think. I shouldn't complain about our 6 inches of snow, however. I understand up North 2 feet of snow fell!<br /><br />Have a wonderful day, noticing kindness wherever it occurs.<br /> Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723639294340760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-40746239986267350422017-03-15T07:05:55.250-04:002017-03-15T07:05:55.250-04:00Given these troubling times, Susan,this week's...Given these troubling times, Susan,this week's motif is, the appropriate theme, we should be aiming for, in our interactions with others.Therisa's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14158009488213815860noreply@blogger.com
