Absolutely, right, Tom. Great message. 'When we invest in the happiness of others, we make an investment in our own.' and 'The power of the pen is great indeed, when words of truth, the masses heed.' (AL quotes) ...and the masses surely need to heed this message. Congrats for placing in the contest. Have a great day. :) ~ Artsie
