ANTICDOTE:
A young couple, Lisa and John, moved into a new neighborhood. One morning while they were eating breakfast, Lisa looked out the window and watched her next-door neighbor hanging out her wash.
“That laundry’s not clean!” Lisa exclaimed. “Our neighbor doesn’t know how to get clothes clean!”
John looked on but remained silent.
Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, Lisa would make the same comments.
A few weeks later Lisa was surprised to glance out her window and see a nice, clean wash hanging in her neighbor’s yard. She said to her husband, “Look, John—she’s finally learned how to wash correctly! I wonder how she did it.”
John replied, “Well, dear, I have the answer for you. You’ll be interested to know that I got up early this morning and washed our windows!
“If you judge people,
you have no time to love them.”

to relieve it is godlike.”

Oh that is good........
And you my friend Makell are ironically one of very few examples of almost perfection in this respect. You are one of the kindest most open non judgmental women I have ever know. Anyone else reading this, who know's you- will assuredly agree!
love ya! :0)
And then today-- the tender mercies of seeing you randomly at family dollar after months and months...made me smile a little extra for the day.
