Veronica's #WritersDiary, #InspirationResearch at Big Bear!
Oh, happy days--we finally made it up to Big Bear to experience the chilling temps and snow! My snow boots were so happy after sitting unused in a dark closet for over a year, LOL (I knew exactly how they felt😜 ).

Veronica's #WritersDiary, Breathe
"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on." Robert Frost And so it goes...I wanted to pause for those of us in the United States and remember for a just a moment, despite our differences, what a wonderful country it is we live in.
