There are certain people in this world that I feel I already know.It’s like we’ve been here before and are just picking up where we left off. I visited with such a person recently& it makes me even more sure of what I already believe. This person and I met in January. We just happened …

I did something yesterday that I have never, ever done before& I’m still trying to get over the shock of it all. I refused a Hamburger Deluxe no Relish. Yes.You heard correctly.

I’m a pretty positive person most days.But, every once in awhile, Negative Nellie comes a calling and I listen.I not only listen, I agree& that’s not good. Today has the makings of a listen to Nellie day.I’m very close to diving in and letting her rule my mind and my actions. You want to know …
