    Love Billy Joel’s honesty. I sang it while I was doing my post. Your lines are truly profound.

    Doesn’t it seem to work this way all the time? I sympathize. Glad you had a back up.

    The path less taken, but so worth it. Loved the simplicity and depth of your words.

    Honesty is such a lonely word….Billy rocks!
