Common Courtesy

Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/author/sadje19/ She asks do we ask before we re blog another post. To be honest, I don’t re blog.

Snippets

Inspiration from https://lssattitudeofgratitude.wordpress.com/2022/12/14/throwback-thursday-68-snapshots-of-your-life/ Imagine that you could hand down five snapshots, that illustrate the most important/ loving/ proud memories from your life.

Do you have a regular schedule for getting a new toothbrush? Or like me, do you wait until you notice that it’s seriously frayed to start thinking about replacing it? Last year I went to my dentistContinue reading “Daily Brushing”
