The Real Story (MM #4976)

Do Nothing (MM #4974)

It’s taken me a long time, but I’ve come to appreciate alone time, when things are quiet. It took forever, but I now understand the desire for solitude. I don;t know if this is just my world, or if it’s everyone’s situation, but there are times when I just want to sit around and do…
