Sometimes I think that’s what growing old means. It means we find solace in what we have and stop … More Gratitude List – January 2017
On our walk last evening to the nearby market, VT pointed to a cart and what the guy was selling. A plate of eggs – hot, hard-boiled, with chopped onions and mint chutney.
