Today is Ash Wednesday - Nikkishea21 - 02-18-2015
Today is Ash Wednesday and it is a public holiday for me. I am at home resting and wish I had some peace and quiet but the outrageous neighbors are at it. Some would give this day some sense of reverence and be mindful of the fact that most if not all of the neighborhood is home on a day such as this, not them though, they couldn't care less.
