enchanted by mindfulness

needing constant maintenance

(thanks to dream & seattlegal...i was wondering who and how the purple poo would get resolved, and you both remind me why this thread can be so much fun...glad i brought the first one to the community)

p.s. - in some parts of the US 'idea' is 2 syllables...;p
