Our frame of reference, learning experiences etc. really help shape the way we see things and how we write about them. At times, I find that even our choice of words and our interpretation of those words are influenced in different ways and not always received the way we intended. It is a very interesting process to say the least. <br /><br />Blessings to you and yours Susan.Dolores Ayottehttp://doloresayotte.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-86764391098121377552011-02-15T21:58:51.598-05:002011-02-15T21:58:51.598-05:00Hi Melanie -
