I can have my condition and still be normal; and no one is really normal over the holidays. Two points really well taken.Barbara Kivowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069286366650175153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3364669902775880430.post-17358798375103657662010-10-14T21:01:55.694-07:002010-10-14T21:01:55.694-07:00I enjoy your writing...Holidays need to be simplif...I enjoy your writing...Holidays need to be simplified when not feeling well.
