  • a headache,
  • uncompromising,
  • unfair,
  • joyful,
  • beautiful,

Can you…

… find a meaningful, non-weird English sentence that contains the two consecutive words “an apples” without capitalizing “apple” or adding an apostrophe?
Hint: It involves a cliché.

I found this, and thought it was interesting. I will post the answer in a comment after I see what you all come up with.

Measurement

525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.
525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How about love?
Measure in love.
Seasons of love.

R.I.P. Coretta Scott-King

“It doesn’t matter how strong your opinions are. If you don’t use your power for positive change, you are, indeed, part of the problem.” 

“I’m fulfilled in what I do… I never thought that a lot of money or fine clothes-the finer things of life-would make you happy. My concept of happiness is to be filled in a spiritual sense.”

“Love the moment and the energy of the moment will spread beyond all boundaries.”
