Kleenex sales have returned to normal

Nothing like a cold leaving you to remind you how good "normal" feels. I don't want to jinx myself by saying its gone, but at least its bags are packed and the cold seems to be ready to move on. I hope it doesn't have your house on its GPS program.

How about some smile-worthy quotes today? I am trusting my email source is correct in attributing these accurately, but if not, they still made me smile.

Hi there. So pleased that you are now feeling better after your cold. Those quotes really did give me a smile this evening! I loved the Eleanor Roosevelt one. She really did say some good things, as lots of really good quotes are attributed to her.

Glad you are doing better and had the last illness for the Fall & Winter.

Glad you on on the mend. Don't want to double jinx you by saying it's over either.

Those are all wonderful! My favorite is the Socrates one. Now, I might not think so if I were Mrs. Socrates...
