Me, I’ll
Count my blessings and embrace
The solitary life. I’ve
Ways of forgetting love.

Shakeel - So sorry lah. Wasn't in a Christmassy mood. Could happily have forgotten the holiday this time round. But for you ... I wrote something about Christmas today.

Susan - hope you do have those young men waxing lyrical!
