If memory serves me correctly, I predicted back in January or February that this pandemic mess is about to get a bit better at least for us here in the USA.

The shimmering stars light up Lynn’s smiling face as she picks up her paint brush. She is at peace.
Until July and the celebration of our nation’s birthday.
Read a book, hug a child, pet a dog, stroke a dog, eat a bar of chocolate, give thanks, and sing boldly, loudly and off key in the shower. And IKIRU!
