Joy and smiles.  Positivity  and creativity.  I believe these things are obtainable, even without the rose colored glasses.  Learning is burden I gladly carry.  I enjoy having my mind challenged, my thoughts questioned and my literary emotions stirred by the written word.  I in turn challenge you with the most open of hearts to write about your favorite things, share them with me and I will do the same.  Please be patient with me, life does most often get in the way of creativity but I look forward to meeting and greeting good people and reading good stuff.  XXXOOO Always
