A very creative BUDDIE Blog Beth!
Thanks so much, Beth. That was great!
Lovely Beth. Great reminder of appreciating what we have and not what we think we are missing.

Beth…brought a smile to my face and hope to my soul….
Well said, Beth. I wish I were as articulate as you. Thanks
Thanks Beth, this made me appreciate my patients who are not able to touch or see their loved ones everyday.
The frustration is not mine alone.🤓
