      Longingly from outside on the street
      they looked like a child’s dream
      Inside all alone
      they made me cry
      When I found my love
      they became my favorite thing
      It’s all in your head Mr Grinch

      Reminiscence Salt Lake City, Utah (Photo - Jean Sudbury).Colleen Elizabeth Abela​ Morales is an artist creating success in the business world, and an entrepreneur unlocking creative wealth in the art world. She lives in beautiful Santa Barbara.

        Honored to be included with these wonderful wordsmiths! Also, a lovely photo. I vote to keep Christmas tree lights up all year to ward off those post-holiday blues!
