It’s 12 : 04 PM on day 1973 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read read 2 Thessalonians 1, learn one new thing – Despite its thick ice, Antarctica is classified as a desert because so little moisture falls from the sky. The inner regions of the continent receive an average of 2 inches (50 millimeters) of precipitation—primarily in the form of snow—each year. More rain falls in the Sahara desert. – have breakfast  and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – yesterday Stan Faryna donated $25 (thanks SO MUCH Stan  your ongoing support means the world to me   )  which brings my total raised to $2 082  only $4 168 more to raise by 10 Jan 2017  (SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far   ).
