Years ago I was at Macy's buying an outfit to wear to my husband's funeral.   The clerk looked at me and said "smile".

I hate when people say that "smile it is not that bad".  In some situations it is that bad.  Some people are so insensitive.

Hi cheriere! I think we have all probably experienced a time or two in our lives where we have been fragile and needed the love and support of friends, family or even strangers. It costs us nothing to lend a shoulder, a kind word or even a smile.

I trust you made it back safe and sound from Nashville last week. I had a dr. appointment yesterday. Normally it's a 5 minute drive, but as they say about Minneapolis, we have 2 seasons--winter and road construction.

I am one of those nerdy people who always leaves home with enough time should I encounter road closures, thunderstorms, accidents, tornadoes or as what happened a few weeks ago. The parking lot arm would not go up and all the street parking in that neighborhood is by permit only. That's when panic sets in!
