She leaned closer, and whispered, "And we have unfinished business in the spirit house. I believe there is still an apple there we have yet to finish."

Ralph Waldo EmersonWhenever you feel โshortโ or in โneedโ of something, give what you want first and it will come back in buckets. That is true for money, a smile, love, friendship.
