today finds me a little perkier... thank you for the well wishes. it's a drag when you have so much you want to do and no oooooomph to do it! well, the oooooomph better stick around for today.... because in an hour, i'll be setting up a garage sale with my neighbor. it's early to have a garage sale in michigan--- but the weather is so incredible for this time of year, we decided we should capitalize on it!
i was stunned. yep, literally stunned when i heard about three area goodwills in the next county due west of us... closing their doors. i just had to ask... why? i was told that they weren't meeting their budget. now, i'll tell you..... our economy is so bad in michigan that even goodwill is tossing in the towel... and, it's donation-driven at that.
when i hear news like this.... and it's everywhere in our state, with everyone you talk to... the country song, "why don't we just dance?" echoes in my head... and, sometimes i even dance around my kitchen- all by myself to forget the troubles of these times. you should try it sometime!
it will make you smile... that i can promise! smile, wink, nod.
