The Years Gone By
Looking back in 2009, we all learnt a lot in life. Hopefully, we became better persons and are now looking forward to a richly rewarding year.
The walk into the future will not be without challenges and hiccups. There are new things to be done, new people to meet, new days to be [...]

It’s not hard to die when you know you have lived, and I did.

Lynette Scavo: Hey! Mary-Alice, are you okay?
Mary Alice Young: Yes, thank you. I’m fine.

Guest post by PinkM
Well, Pete honored me by asking me to guest post on here. No idea what wisdom is expected, but I’ll do my best to be me.
