GOOD MORNING

I just went for a walk and returned.The cool breeze seemed very refreshing to me.But as I was taking my walks, I noticed how an elderly couple (around their 50's)walked hand in hand,talking to each other and enjoying every moment with each other.

I was happy to notice that the husband still showed love and affection for his wife.
You may be wondering what is so great in all this, but I feel a lady should be treated very well by her husband, for whom she has left her family,some even their identity.

Good to see small events that make me happy even in this period of crisis and recession.
