Greetings to all... I was shopping for food in a local grocery store recently. I had aproached the cashier and was watching her as she rung up my purchases. It caught my eye that she had posted a poem on the side of her cash register. This is what it said... JUST FOR LAUGHS So far today, I've done alright. I haven't gossiped. I haven't lost my temper. I haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish or overindulgent. But in a few minutes, God I'm going to get out of bed and from then on I'm probably going to need a LOT of help. AMEN When I asked her where she got this poem, she told me that her therapist at her cancer clinic had given it to her after one of her regular chemotherapy treatments. I read this on a day that I had learned that a family member was trying to legally usurp my mother of a rightful inheritance which she deserves and needs in order to live out her pd days in relative comfort. Somehow this poem, the cashier's good humour amidst her physical ailments and the following humourous PIEN post from a few weeks past, have lightened my cg load considerably. To one particular list member, your posts are always informative and/or humourous and for that I am thankful ( if that's what you can do with acronyms, I'd love to see what you can do with a spell checker).
