However, I make a point in telling myself that I don't want the negative forces to win, and so I make the effort to achieve what I can (or should I say, what little I can?) in spite of the negative voices.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912167351889969855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-35633157972513793852016-01-26T13:16:09.690-05:002016-01-26T13:16:09.690-05:00Yep.
