Hi Miracle Barb, I just had this vision of you dressed like Tinkerbell with your magic wand flying through the rooms, making everything clean and shiny. Windows gleaming, cushions plumped fire in the hearth and wonderful smells wafting from the kitchen. Then you land and announce buy my miracle barb and your home will be full of love. So I am happy to hear Chucky paid the bill with no fuss I think you finally got your message across. Your right we all have stuff big and small and we learn to endure and adapt and thrive and when we do it makes the smallest blessings so wonderful because we know the price we paid to achieve it. I think the older we get the more we appreciate all lifes joys. I find nothing worth having comes easy but the smallest pleasures are magnified and bring deeper and lasting contentment. I'm whispering this next bit We have had no rain for 4 days-shhhhhhhh don't tell anyone. Glorious autumnal weather, and my tailess kitty is back climbing trees and hunting-yeh her presents I could really do without. Now if my x could suddenly find the money he owes me I'd think I'd died and gone to heaven.
