We sometimes wish we could take back the words we say to people, oh, if we only could. A glass of milk gets spilled. Even if we picked up the table cloth to squeeze it back into the glass and mop up every last drop that hit the floor we can never get it allRead More
Not many people want gray hair. However when we go through hard times, a gray haired person is one who is sought after the most. These are people who have had life’s experiences both good and bad.
