I have read before that what you focus on gets bigger so if you focus on a problem it gets bigger, conversely if you focus on the good things in life they will get bigger. I hope that whatever is troubling you, in time, will pale into insignificance. Wishing you a wonderful weekend filled with lots of positive things. :-)Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02766240849932971541noreply@blogger.com
