Hope this finds you well and enjoying a great weekend. It’s the Superbowl Sunday, a big deal in most households! Pretty much the only day I actually sit down and watch an entire game without complaining…in fact I often really get into it.<\/p>\n

That said, once the 3 hour spectacle is over I go right back to being quite uninterested in football, sorry just the truth. May the best team win (spoken like a true non football fan)! Onward to my Seven on Sunday….<\/p>\n

2 A WONDERFUL MUST HAVE BOOK<\/strong> You know those kinds of books that kind of take you away to a beautiful, calm peaceful place where the pace slows down and life just feels perfectly balanced and everything is in harmony.<\/p>\n

This is one such book. Love<\/em> this book, it’s the kind that you will find yourself going back to over and over. My first reaction delving into this book was take me away NOW to the Provencal countryside and leave the chaos behind:) Yes, it’s that<\/em> kind of book! Absolute;y delightful.<\/p>\n

      7 SUNDAY’S SURVEY <\/strong>So…..mask mandates are being lifted left and right. A sure sign we have turned a very significant and much anticipated corner. I am thrilled that some degree of normalcy is within reach!<\/p>\n

      The strange thing though, for me at least, is that I am so used to wearing a mask that I am choosing to continue wearing it in crowded public places. Strange as it might seem to some. I have spoken to others and about half feel the same, the other half cannot throw away their masks fast enough. Curious where you stand?<\/p>\n
