that talked about how several people
almost gave a man this or that…
and because of it, he almost

Ever had that sort of gnawing thought
in the back of your mind that something
was passing you by and you couldn’t
quite figure out what?

My hat is off to the person at the great and wise
Fortune Cookie Factory who wrote this:

” You will enjoy true in whatever you do. “
