attitude
You might have seen this but I thought it was good enough to post. We could all use a good dose of positivity now and then.
There once was a woman who woke up one morning,
Looked in the mirror,
And noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
“Well,” she said, “I think I’ll braid my hair […]
