I would say so!.!.!.

Twelve years ago I spent the most amazing day with someone special!.!.!.and although life has moved on for both of us and we pretty much only spent that one day together, it was one of the happiest days of my life and I treasure it as much today as I treasured it then :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I do appreciate all kinds of joy!. From the shortest to the biggest!. I mean!.!.!.!. I cannot be "a little joyful" as I cannot be a little pregnant!. Joy is Joy whether short or big!.

Now, let us see some big joy coming your way! :) xxWww@QuestionHome@Com

I believe that it's that "type" of joy that determines how long we appreciate it!. A gift is enjoyed briefly, while returned love can last a lifetime!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
