You've made the day to day

Posted on Thu, 14 Nov 2019

You've made the day to day images of real life into a great poem here Di.

I especially like:- sweets for peace and loo rolls at half price. Gave me a smile as I'm doing my weekly shopping today. 

Thank you for sharing.

Looking forward to...

Hi onemorething,

isn't life full of ups and downs? I think the one thing anyone can take from reading this is, that with each new day life can have a funny way of turning things around, if we just have patience and try to look on the...
