Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day.

The Alchemist is a wonderful book. I read it and it changed me for a little while. I need to read it again. Thanks for the reminder.
How bout that ....I downloaded the same thing on the same day. Was listening to it one night in bed when I couldn't sleep. It's a great story and the book is even better if you have the time to invest. Read it a few years back.
