Bright Spot: Brandon at Home Depot
My son and I went to Home Depot to get bags of compost and soil for our raised garden beds. It is 85F and humid here in North Texas, and I am not as useful loading 40# bags as I was pre-surgery, so most of it was falling to my son, which he would have…

The Problem

Fitting
I was getting ready for lunch with a friend. When I looked through my clothes to find something to wear, I realized none of them fit me anymore. Not like they are the wrong size, although some are, but they don’t fit ME. They fit who I have been for years. The casual, blend into…
