What am I doing wrong or not doing, I wonder. : )Cynthia Chapman Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12408985785062180536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224888611160910791.post-11791447038661622752010-02-02T06:31:36.676-08:002010-02-02T06:31:36.676-08:00Things have often come to me just as I was waking,...Things have often come to me just as I was waking, usually the first few sentances.
