    You are further along life's path.... the worst of this week I hope is over.

    I hope you can a find away to chill and rest while of course still plodding :kisses3:

    hugs
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It
