People just get sick of us if we are only ever complaining about the way things are. The best way to improve our situation is to make the best of what we already have and carry on trying to brighten the day of those around us!! It will pay off! I can see that the bee is about to make the most of the situation! Excellent thought to go with this colourful image, Chris.

Patrick...I think pavers means pavement? :D That's MY guess!!!

What a cheerful image, Chris! So glad your friend Marta has YOU for a pal! :)

This is sure to cheery her up!
