I Don’t Know why everyone wants to BE someone.
I do know, it is better to be content with Ordinary, than longing for Special.
I am enjoying having found old friends on Facebook.

I Don’t Know why so many try to dress mutton up as lamb.

I Don’t Know why we are so easily dissatisfied with our body image.

I am enjoying the sound of much-needed rain today.
