I always thought it would be the best setting for counselling because the fire has a way of allowing free floating thoughts and comfort in expressing them.<BR/><BR/>Daisy. :) I'm right there with you.

There was just something about the fire and being young pondering what the future would bring or the secrets that you could share with friends that seems timeless......
