Phyllis - you said a lot in a few lines. I read them in the early morning hours when I was called from sleep by the "to do" list of the holidays. Thanks to you I have a truer focus on this day.

This arrived with my toast and marmalade on a really nasty day. After getting a sticky patch on my I-pad I read it with a completely different feeling. I felt great - went and had my hair done. Smiled at everyone - everyone smiled back - so a huge 'thank you'. What a lovely poem! I
