Had this little ditty hanging on my fridge for years. It carried me through many a cabin fever. Now with the new kitchen I cannot bare to clutter up my fridge...with even my favorite things. Only one problem with this idealistic thinking is that school is in session, so the fridge will soon become a magnetized recycle bin that does not get cycled through as often as it should. Who invented magnets anyway? Love and hate those handy little pesky things!

Anyhow,

I'm recycling this to the blogosphere. After all these years it still hits home, especially today. I'm thankful for others good words that carry me out of my funk days.
