Day By Day

Grey days, sunshining days... cold, warm, getting warmer--- so many changes. And what keeps so many of us going...

Need for food and shelter and security...

Desire to support family and have others see us as responsible and successful

Wanting to be surrounded by positive human beings who accept us

Focused on helping others to be successful and happy

Enjoying sharing love and life in the moment

WHAT KEEPS YOU AND ME GOING
