what a wonderful message Marcel. Food for thought. At the book store where I
spend way too much time and energy, we often have impulse items on the counter.
This year, for Valentine's we sold those packages of little hearts with
messages of be mine etc...so sweet and reminiscent of childhood dreams.
I also enjoy the controversy here Marcel..the differing of opinions makes me
think and challenges what I stand for....it IS a good thing to have different
points of view. How boring and mundane it would be to think in exactly the same
way all the time. I feel it is important to remember is that we are all caring,
feeling, thinking people with a passion for Joni and beyond.
As Natalie Merchant says: Life is sweet. Amen.
