Something to think about:
TEN (10) THINGS I KNOW ABOUT YOU
1) You are reading this.
2) You are human.
3) You can't say the letter ''P'' without separating your lips.
4) You just attempted to do it.
6) You are laughing at yourself.
7) You have a smile on your face and you skipped No. 5.
8) You just checked to see if there is a No. 5.
9) You laugh at this because you are a fun loving person, and everyone does it.
10) You are probably going to email, or show this to others to see who else falls for it.
Have a great Day. Laugh, and then Laugh and sing "It's a Beautiful Day" even if it's not.
"Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many."
Remembering our friend Marline Williams.
