A Change Is As Good As a Holiday – Right?

Have you heard that saying before?  For those of us who like change, it might be true. For instance, when you get a new house or a new puppy.

A change in my perspective

So, I cried a little while loading the washing machine this morning… No, it wasn’t because I was frustrated by the never-ending pile of dirty clothes or the fact, that more washing meant more hanging out and more folding.
