Hi Rusty, I figured as much. I appreciate the importance of peace, joy, thankfulness and inspiration, which you reported as guideposts in your life. They've guided my life, as well. There's only one letter different, just three spaces apart in the alphabet, at the very end of the word, between "peace" and "peach". You can hold your outstretched, cupped hand up in the air as long as you choose and unless you're in Georgia or Niagara or a limited number of other locations, and even there, for only a limited period of time, each year ... no peach will ever show up there. Roots, a trunk, branches, leaves and blossoms (plus bees or other pollinators) are essential if one desires to produce a peach. Peace also does not appear by magic or as a result of wishing or hoping, however fervent. Roots of justice, a trunk of fairness, branches of kindness, leaves of cooperation and blossoms of love-inspired sharing are essential in developing peace. And some minds and bodies to provide the fertilizing (and in the situation of peacemmaking, to do a great deal of thinking and work along with that of many allies) to bring forth the desired result. Lacking those essential ingredients ... ... and major effort invested ... ... the cake of peace just ain't a gonna happen!! (Can you offer a comparison to throw in to symbolize the heat required to make that cake rise?) ole joyfuelled

Sorry...I didn't mean to sound so harsh...perhaps I'm too tired and too testy with all the holiday stuff bearing down on me. It's all fine.

My package arrived at the UPS sorting facility 20 miles from my house on Dec 2nd. It's been on two delivery trucks since then, one of which I watched zoom right on past my house. Since Dec 7th it's back at the sorting facility, "awaiting processing" ... yeah, right.

In case you can't see the top photo, the order is for Tampax tampons
