Like they say, growing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional. I like the permission in this banner, too.

Groceries for Turkey Day
Today is going to be a busy one and I have to get my groceries for Thanksgiving. This year we are gathering a few family members and several friends together for a big meal. Most of the friends are here as either new to the area, newly divorced, or people with no family to include them. I think Thanksgiving is about sharing what you have and being with people you care about. So that’s our plan and today I have to get the turkey. Wish me luck, and hope you have a nice Thanksgiving.

Lost Track
One of my first and closest friends that I made as a 10 year old new to the neighborhood was a girl named Sandy. She lived about a block away and was one of the first kids in the neighborhood to come say hello to me when I was out playing in the yard. I was pretty shy back then so her coming over was a huge relief. We played outside together for many afternoons, until her folks moved away.
I really regret having lost track of her. You know, we promised to stay in touch and we just didn’t do that. It’s sad. I wish I could find her – I’ve searched Facebook and Google – nothing.

Pay It Forward
Have you ever done something with the thought that you were paying it forward? Doing a nice thing for a person with no expectation of anything in return?
I paid for the lunch of the car behind me at Wendy’s today. I asked the cashier how much was their lunch and it was only about $12. I gave her the money for my chicken sandwich and their lunch, then drove away before they could find out or thank me. It felt good!

April is a Sweetheart
What a nice surprise to come home and find a basket of baked goodies on my kitchen table. April brought me the cookies and fresh bread and left a little note that she thought I needed some fussing over. Isn’t that sweet? Of course, I’ll welcome some fussing over – especially when it tastes so good! Sorry that I was not at home when she stopped by. Now I’ll have to find a way to thank her properly and let her know that she’s a great baker.
