We shoved it in my shoulder bag - because it more or less fitted. Off to the car yard. While negotiating with the sales assistant it kept squeaking. She didn't know where to look.

I always find a bit of daily strength most days with Marc & Angel Humor is great tonic as is smiling from it all ... Wake up every morning with the idea that something wonderful is possible today. – Smiling is a healing energy. Always find a reason to smile. It may not add years to your life but will surely add life to your years. A consistent positive attitude is the cheapest ‘fountain of youth.’ You’ve got to dance like there’s nobody watching, love like you’ll never be hurt, sing like there’s nobody listening, and live like it’s heaven on Earth.Cindy@NorthofWiartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00262513991016475701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-47463403855767971292012-10-22T10:20:23.284+00:002012-10-22T10:20:23.284+00:00It is little moments like this - or smiles as you ...It is little moments like this - or smiles as you walk round the supermarket - that make you feel better when you are down, I think John.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.com
