Don’t forget if you have written a post which you would like readers to see, just leave a comment below.

I’m starting this week with a question from Karin ” When was the last time you felt wonderful or described some/thing/one as wonderful?” And Karin’s answer? “You are wonderful, despite it all and because of it all.”
