Very nice, good outlook.
Thanks for the visit, Aleta! 🙂
Lovely, Bette. Thanks for sharing!
I thought so too, Noelle. Glad to stopped by for a visit. Snow/ice mix here today, but spring is surely on its way and Marlyn’s lovely poem helped the sun shine through the clouds in my rain sopped brain. Here’s to spring! 🙂
Well, that is just lovely! I can see why you had to share it 🙂
It picked me up on a gloomy day, D. So glad you stopped by to enjoy it too! 🙂

One of those ‘aha’ moments for me… Glad you enjoyed it too, Micki! ❤

Have a wonderful weekend, Bette. Hugs.
Now THAT is a pithy poem. Kind of reminds me of “We are what we eat,” only in this case it’s more like “We become what we become, because of what we DO.” Nice poem! 🙂
Thanks, Joe. Great messages…glad to hear you thought so too! 🙂
Beautiful poem!
Thanks, Heena. Have a great day! 🙂
