The wrinkles were deep, so Shirley pressed hard on the iron until she heard a scream.
Her husband arched his back. "Well, if you let me take it off it will be easier."
“Stop squirming," She turned the heat up. "I'm almost done."
War kills progress
Invades our life
Lives pay the price
Lasting memories of tragedy
Under attack
Kyiv bombed
Russia won’t back down
Alarming the world
Injustice kills Justice
NATO must act
Endangered times become normal

In difficult times people often talk about needing an angel. A winged mythical,
spiritual messenger sent to protect you. Even those who are not normally religious start to
wish they had an angel by their side. I’m not sure, it could be a defense mechanism that is
automatically triggered when we feel down, but no one thinks about angels when
everything is going well.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve never seen an angel, at least not as they are
described. I do believe in angels, but I'd call them everyday angels. You see them at the
grocery store, at the coffee shop, even at the park. They're the people who smile, wave
and engage in a friendly conversation sometimes even offering a helping hand loading
your groceries.
Everyday angels don’t need wings, they don’t need to deliver a spiritual message,
they just need to distract us from our problems. They are here to uplift our spirit, brighten
our day. They’re not looking for a reward or trophy. Everyday angels don’t know they
are angels. “Just Saying . . . “
