H is for Happiness
I usually avoid religious references. But what are myths but great stories of power? I picked Happiness for today. And there was only one character to portray its essence.
April A2Z
G is for Gift
I tried an exercise of epistolary format so I used a story you may already know. It’s about a gift.
