If I don't have it....

What MamaE said - I haven't a clue how to approach the Grid so the Meta will be impossible.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Grid has me stumped. Cannot get a foothold to begin something. I can see possibilities for the meta, though.

If you can't be with the one you love.... love the one you're with.
