[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 34507, member: 3353"] Suz, you are right. Knowing what is coming, we DO need to take appropriate action to put ourselves in a better place. It's hard to remember to do that ~ but you know what? I got back what I put into it, didn't I. Negativity is hard to combat. I like that you did that. Turning your own pain into concern for someone else. There's an old story about leaving pennies around so that you, or someone else, will find them sometime in the future. (You know that old saying about seeing a penny and picking it up and all day lomg you will have good luck.) So, the moral there was that we could do good things ~ good, unexpected things, anytime we wanted to, never knowing who might find our lucky pennies. Pennies aren't worth what they used to be these days, but the concept is probably the best thing there could be to combat this kind of negativity. Thanks, Suz.

KFld, Sue C, and Nomad thanks so much, too. (Nomad? Excellent idea, about getting those little M&M packages! Too late for me, though! Besides, I INTENDED to eat the whole thing when I bought it. [img]:smile:[/img]) KFld, I think you are right about part of it being that the house is empty now. Sometimes I feel so foolish and wish I were stronger. Know what I learned though? M&Ms is definitely not the way to a strong, well-balanced outlook ~ no matter how happy those little M&Ms look in the commercials! They were very tasty, though. Barbara [/QUOTE]
