JUNK MAIL SOURCE:
Hi Penelope…
I don’t know about you but when I wake up in the morning my eyes are totally unable to open fully. It didn’t use to be that way but now that I am older some things just don’t work as well as they used to. Know what I mean?
But this has been a blessing in disguise for me and whether you are the same or not, the lessons I learned from it has been a source of motivation for me and will, for sure and for certain, be one for you.
These lessons can be summarized in the 3 questions I ask myself every day…
SECOND SOURCE: Jabberwockey – by Lewis Carroll

Warning
I have teeth
and I will cut you.
Be afraid —
I will hurt you.
Walking the streets,
I want my fill.
Light my fire and
I will find you —
take this warning.
