dolllady aka Pam says:I can feel the depression and despair in this pick. However, your choice of the Green Girl soaring bird clasp brings hope of the future to come after the depressing pandemic ends. It is scay to thing of it in terms of years though. Just like the Great Depression, WW2, VietNam, Tuberculosis, and polio of the distant and not so distant past.
