If you can forgive the person you were,
Accept the person you are, and believe
In the person you will become, you
Are headed for joy.. So celebrate your life.

- I have been addicted to veggie soups all winter, not because it's cold here in S FL, but because they are so good and easy! My current fave substitutes leek sauted with garlic for the onion simmered in broth with asaparagas.
