Hi All,


I’ve had many visitors over the holidays so I haven’t been on as much but something came to mind as I was writing an email. I have my niece and nephew visiting me for a couple of days.

Whether you think you can or you think you can't you are probably right. A parrot can repeat what it has learned but the mark of true intelligence is applying what is learned.

How very true my dear! :) I can't TELL you how many times i made excuses and talked myself out of ther reallity of the situation....the fantasy was too big...and wonderful...but ultimately...Reality ALWAYS has a way of smacking us in the face and coming to light..altho..secretly, I still believe in SANTA :)

I love it! So true. My mom used to threaten, "if you don't believe in Santa, you don't get any presents!" Now, all grown up, it's, "If you don't believe in AP, you don't get the feel-goods!" ha.
