Hello,  happy Friday and weekend! I apologize

for my absence. My doctor recommended rest

because my back is in very bad shape and

requires surgery, as it has worsened. I always

think of my friends. The first step before changing

our lives is to accept our reality as it is; without

acceptance, there can be no change. Life is too

short to remain trapped. I'm sending you warm,

big hugs, Maria. Take care!
