Life Love; give
and receive. These
gifts are given to you. Make
peace, not more war. Like a new
flower, love
blossoms and fades away. Sunset,
end of day. God gave
us humor to help us
over the bumps. Have a hearty
laugh! Humor I
came and conquered mosquitoes
and ticks and gnats, not
death or taxes. A
typical man won't
ask directions she said. Now
we are lost. Help! I
