Play is essential  – that’s what I have realized.

It’s 12 : 11  PM on day 2158 of my journey towards independence and I managed to have breakfast, pray, read 119:28  and work on my  25 Smiles Campaign    –  Stan Faryna   donated $25   (thanks SO MUCH  Stan)  which brings the total  raised to $7 200 only  $5 300 more to raise to reach my second goal of raising $12 500 for Smile Train before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far   🙂 ) .
