Sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words, and because this phrase is so very true, the post, sent in, by Chris & Keith, to me & you, (eLanka readers), whenever we are in a “spot”, (as we are, in Melbourne, right now, again)!!, let us take a little time to read into the “black dot”, and ponder, as we peruse this, around eleven thousand words that are both meaningful and sincere.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just scan the BLACK DOT, before you get hot under the collar, and have no hesitation in accepting the vaccination (that you prefer), and you will beat Covid, never fear. !! Thanks again to Chris Lawton & Keith Bennett.<\/span><\/p>\n
