A DATE WITH INSPIRATION

Posted on March 17, 2023 by Judy

It was fun thinking of ideas for this post’s title. I started with “I had a lot of dates.” Another one that didn’t make the cut was: “I’m not out of date; wrinkles can be beautiful!” But the title I chose was very satisfying.

AS YOU TRAVEL-PART 1

I wrote a song just about three days ago. It’s the only thing I can hear. So I’m going to play it. When I heard the music to it – it was a love song, for sure.
