There is some beauty in that at times 🙂

I hit the wrong smiley on that one. It should have been 😞

What I was trying to say (but did not do so very well...) is that sometimes (for me, anyhow) savoring a glass of wine at the end of a tough day, is a much appreciated way to relax and forget about things ever so briefly....

But I realize many struggle with alcohol issues so this was just a crappy, insensitive post by me altogether. I apologize.
