Happiness. It's relative.

What happens here on Red's Wrap is all over the map. There is no single theme, no overarching gripe, no malady of my own or others that dominates. I write about what seems important or interesting at the moment and what aims me toward hope. I write stories, essays, poems - whatever fits the day and the mood. Nothing stays the same, here or anywhere. That's a good thing. Happiness. It's relative.

Beautiful photo – and, yes – nothing like the fantastic feeling of naked swimming! THANKS
NO not now!
I’m at an age and stage where the idea of swimming in cold water — ANY cold water — is a big now. I don’t worry about my beauty attracting anyone or anything, but the idea of immersing me in anything colder than a shower? Nope. Uh uh.
